Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0961096A2] The bottle formation has a rear aperture and in the direction of firing a front aperture through which a fired projectile leaves the weapon. The bottle formation (4) forms a space (H) in the firing direction behind the muzzle (2) and is in positive engagement in the area of the muzzle (2) on the barrel (1). In the front aperture (4.1) of the bottle formation a thrust part tube (5 runs in the firing direction, which with one end extends into the bottle formation space (H). Between the end (5.1) of the thrust part tube (5) extending into the bottle formation space and the barrel muzzle there is a space, so that the first thrust reflected on the wall of the expansion space (A), before the reflected wave reaches the firing axis, is reflected from the outer surface of the thrust part tube into the bag space (B).
