Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0190680A1] Barrel assembly (10) includes rifled barrel (11) loaded with several pyrotechnic projectiles (12) for selective firing by an electronically controlled system. Each projectile (12) includes body (14), housing (15) containing pyrotechnic material (16), and trailing collar (17) supported on trailing hub (18) of body (14) for limited axial movement. Collar (17) includes leading wall (20) abutting trailing wall (21) of housing (15) and an internally tapered thickened rear part (24) engaging nose (25) of trailing projectile (12) to wedge into sealing engagement with barrel (11). Hub (18) supports propellant capsule (30) connected by electrical leads (31) to contacts (32) on outer cylindrical wall (33) of housing (12). Complementary contacts (34) are supported in barrel (11). Alignment of contacts (34) with contacts (32) occurs during the loading process. Fuse (35) extends between capsule (30) and primer (36) so that material (16) explodes a set time after firing projectile (12) from barrel (11).
