Abstract (en)

[origin: US4882974A] A method for increasing the hitting probability of multi-barreled machine weapons, especially for four-gun or gatling-type weapon systems. Through a spreading apart of the middle of hitting point locations of the individual weapon barrels, there can be achieved an improvement in the characteristics of the firing spread. This is attained in that the middle hitting point location of the individual weapon barrels is spread apart in such a manner about the middle hitting point location of all of weapon barrels of a weapon system, that the density of hits remains almost constant at a restrictedly increasing deviation from the middle of the hitting point location of all the weapon barrels. The middle hitting point location of the individual weapon barrels can be spread apart by the amount of the average standard deviation of the diring spread of the individual weapon barrels from the middle hitting point location of all weapon barrels of a weapon system.

Um die Treffwahrscheinlichkeit von Mehrrohr-Maschinenwaffensystemen zu erhöhen, wird die mittlere Treffpunktlage von einzelnen Waffenrohren um die mittlere Treffpunktlage aller dieser Waffenrohre eines Waffensystems um den Betrag der mittleren Standardabweichung der Streuung der einzelnen Waffenrohre gespreizt.
