Abstract (en)

1. Weapon or launcher system without projectile recoil, of the type having a propulsive charge (4), placed centrally in a tube (1) and interposed between, on the one hand the projectile (3) and on the other a ballast (5), said ballast ensuring a compensation of the recoil impulsion caused by the launching of the projectile, characterized in that the ballast is constituted by a group of longitudinal wires (16), whose plastic and aerodynamic characteristics are chosen in such a way that their ejection only causes limited rearward effects and which are joined at their base in such a way as to ensure, during their passage in tube (1), the rear sealing of a variable volume chamber (22) located between the projectile (3) and the ballast (5).
