BARRELLESS LAUNCHER AND CARTRIDGE CASE FOR IT Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC F42B5/00 F41C3/00 

FIELD: weaponry.

SUBSTANCE: multi-charged tubeless launcher with the possibility of electrical initiation and using electric cartridges with a cartridge case with conductive contacts, which acts as a barrel and chamber. The device comprises a housing, conductive contacts, catches with teeth rotating on axes to fix the cartridge in firing position, a forced extraction mechanism with a spring, a spring-loaded trigger, a pushing spring for supplying electric cartridges, a chemical energy source, a switch with a button for supplying an impulse, a safety mechanism. Cartridge case contains a polymer housing designed in such a way that it engages with the mechanism for fixing and extracting cartridge cases of the launcher, conductive contacts of two poles. The front part of the housing is elongated so that a hook is formed to engage with the mechanism for holding and extracting cartridge cases of the launcher.

EFFECT: expansion of operational capabilities and operational efficiency of the launcher, increased firing efficiency, reliability, handling safety, ease of maintenance, ease of maintenance and use, and simplification of the production of electric cartridges.
