Abstract (en)

[origin: US5675105A] PCT No. PCT/FR95/01645 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 12, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 12, 1996 PCT Filed Dec. 12, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/18863 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 20, 1996A firing abort and hang fire safety system for a small or medium caliber multi-barrel automatic weapon includes a device to immobilize the revolving assembly (100) of the weapon in rotation. This device includes a shock-absorbing device mounted coaxially to the revolving unit of the weapon, a control device integral in rotation with the revolving unit and able to translate, further to the misfire of a round of ammunition or to the activation of an external control, to compress the shock-absorbing means device and absorb the rotational kinetic energy of the revolving unit of the weapon. The backspring of the shock-absorbing means device thereafter causing the revolving unit of the weapon to rotate in the opposite direction before stopping.
