Abstract: For an externally powered weapon, in particular a machine weapon and a machine gun, having at least one barrel, a recoil intensifier at the front end of the barrel is proposed to intensify a weapon return of the returning masses of the weapon and to generate and intensify a signal for monitoring, in particular functionally monitoring, the weapon. The recoil intensifier is of a flared form. The signal intensified by the intensification is used for example for counting the number of shots fired, initiating an emergency stop function, etc. Depending on the further use, the mechanically intensified signal may be converted into an electrical signal.

Abstract: A striking mechanism for triggering a firing pin of an externally or self-powered weapon that has a breech. The striking mechanism including a kinematic mechanism having a trigger rocker, a safety device and a release. The trigger rocker acts on the safety device such that the release functionally interacts with a striking hammer. The striking hammer having a telescopic pushrod. A spring mounted around the telescopic pushrod is tensioned when the breech is advanced and a catching edge of the release engages under a catching edge of the striking hammer.

Abstract: A drive for a weapon having a drive cam and a connecting rod unit guided in the drive cam. The drive cam includes the firing cycle of the weapon. A connecting rod unit has a front pin and a rear pin, a strut pin. With its front pin, the connecting rod unit engages in the drive cam. The front pin is also connected to a crank, which is driven by an external drive. The strut pin is connected to an overall control slider of a breech block of the weapon. An emergency stop device, which when a shot is fired makes a pin extend and ensures that the overall control slider is taken along. If, on the other hand, no shot is fired, the pin is not made to extend and the overall control slider not moved. Parts of the drive may in this case continue to run.

Abstract: A weapon which has a modular design. The weapon is subdivided into weapon-specific modular assemblies which are designed as carrier units of the components. The modular assemblies include a weapon housing into which a breech system of the weapon and a striking mechanism is provided, a weapon cradle that connects with the weapon housing, and a weapon barrel module. The modular assemblies are connected to each other by rails and guides, by binders and holders, by pins, or by bolts and quick release fasteners.

Abstract: An ammunition feed device of a belted ammunition in a weapon system for delivery before a closure or before a closure head, wherein the ammunition must be drawn from the ammunition belt by a cartridge hook and delivered to the closure. To prevent a misfire, etc., the cartridge hook is integrated in the weapon system separately from the closure. The cartridge hook is carried or placed by the closure, when the closure has covered a distance to the rear or must still cover a distance forward.

Abstract: A protection and defence system for an infrastructure against a threat approaching the infrastructure, comprising at least one effector. When a threat is determined, the at least one effector dispenses a non-lethal countermeasure which damages the threat and thus causes its crash. Vision and target tracker, such as at least a camera and tracker, and at least one directing/actuating drive are allocated to the effector or effectors. The effector and the vision and target tracker thereof are supported by a modular platform which can be fixedly installed to/on various infrastructures, can be removed therefrom and be used in a mobile mode. In addition, the platforms comprise a sensor that detects the spatial position of the effectors.

Abstract: A cocking device for a firing pin spring of a firing pin of a weapon, the firing pin being integrated into a breech. This firing pin spring is cocked during the pre-run of the control slide, by means of a cocking slide on the weapon, said cocking slide having a cocking curve, in which a pin of a cocking rocker is engaged.

Abstract: A mount part for a weapon barrel in a weapon barrel holder having a tubular inner diameter which comprises a first section and an encircling ring-shaped second section which is of greater outer diameter than the first section and than a following third section. The third section has at least one slot. The at least one slot runs substantially perpendicular to the second section. In a particular usage situation, the ring-shaped section has circumferential bevels. This permits usage in a barrel mounting of a multi-barrelled weapon having multiple weapon barrels mounted in a common barrel mounting.

Abstract: An emergency stop device for a weapon with a drive for transporting a breech block of the weapon. At least one guide, at least one connecting rod guided in the guide, and at least one lever are provided. When a shot is not being fired, the kinematic system is deactivated. When a shot is being fired, the at least one guide is moved rearwards, and the at least one connecting rod is guided upwards along the guide such that the lever exerts a lever movement, by means of which the transport of the breech block is made possible. The weapon drive has a complete control slide for transporting the breech block of the weapon. A bolt is laterally embedded in the transverse slide, said bolt being integrated below the complete control slide of the drive in a movable manner in the slide.

Abstract: A weapon which has a completely modular design. For this purpose, the weapon is subdivided into weapon-specific assemblies which are designed as carrier units of the components and/or of the modular assemblies of the weapon. A first assembly can be a modular weapon housing. Said weapon housing has a carrier unit into which a breech system of the weapon and its components are built. Another modular assembly is a weapon cradle. Into this modular assembly the weapon housing module with breech system is integrated. The weapon housing module can be complemented with the weapon barrel module. The components are connected to the modular assemblies and the modular assemblies to each other by means of rails and guides and complementary rails and guides for the assemblies, by binders and holders, by pins, bolts and quick release fasteners.

Abstract: A weapon having a barrel cluster, having at least one, preferably multiple, weapon barrel(s) and having a bolt, and only one of the weapon barrels is oriented in alignment with the single bolt and interacts therewith for the purposes of firing. The barrel cluster has a front, muzzle-side barrel holder and has a rear, bolt-side barrel holder, and has, in a partial region, a control body with a control cam which is incorporated on the circumference. By way of said control cam, the barrel cluster can be adjusted as a whole and independently of the firing of the weapon. The control body is preferably electronically rotated, for which purpose a pin of the actuator engages into the control cam of the control body.

Abstract: A case discharge device having a case ejector for ejecting a case or a misfire for a weapon having a bolt with a bolt head, wherein a munition is supplied to a weapon barrel of the weapon by the bolt and the case or the misfire is pulled out of the weapon barrel. The case discharge device is characterized in that, now, in the bolt head, there is situated a groove into which a case ejector which is static with respect to a weapon housing engages. During the return of the bolt, the case ejector which is static with respect to the weapon housing slides within the groove and engages on the bottom of the case in order to release the latter from the bolt and, after the release, discharge said case.
