(57) The invention relates to the defense technology, namely the recoilless rifle guns,
and can be used in weapons systems for ground and air targets. Summary of the invention consists in using a two-stage scheme of throwing a projectile
or bomblets or finishing items affecting in the recoilless rifle with counterweight. The Recoilless rifle is an thermal impulse machine, structurally, consisting of trunk,
body (aka counterweight), shot, consisting of a chassis that includes shell or ready
striking elements and propelling charge, the core of the valve, a tube with the female
side of the breech area, that one party, tightly in the building shot, while the other
rests, on the counterweight, the placed in the space between the pad core valve with
counterweight and a shot of electric initiator and initial propellant charge. Under the action of electric or other subsequent initiation initiator starter propellant
charge, calls the movement along a trunk in opposite directions, chassis shot and
valve core to push counterweight to compensate for the recoil impulse, the output
axis of the valve core out of the shot allows the gases start propellant charge to
penetrate the chassis /body shot and initiate the propellant charge shot, that, in
turn, will cause the increase of pressure in order to obtain the desired initial speed
projectile or striking submunitions, the resulting impact will be offset by additional
momentum to the movement of the chassis/body shot and expired gas propellant charge
in a region of lower pressure formed in the shot hole, causing acceleration of the
valve rod and counterweight. The proposed invention can provide enhanced range and minimal recoil impulse by a
constructive solution, that includes a two-tier scheme of throwing a projectile or
manufactured submunitions, though simple in terms of technology, that determines it's
mass production at low cost and high "efficiency-cost" in solving problems.

[0001] The invention relates to military technology to the recoilless rifle guns. Can be
used in weapons systems for ground and air targets.
[0002] Object of the invention is a device - thermal impulse machine, which provides increased
range, minimizes recoil impulse by a constructive solution that includes a two-tier
scheme of throwing the shells, submunitions, ready to respond to various challenges
including civil use.
[0003] Known recoilless rifles, containing counterrecoil mechanism that is a hydraulic shock
absorber [1].
[0004] The lack of such devices is that they are structurally complex, cumbersome and unreliable
after long-term use.
[0005] The closest to the invention was a recoilless rifle, the barrel with the breechblock,
which performed at the rear of the jet orifice and balancing weight placed in the
barrel between the propelling charge and the back part of the breech ring [2].
[0006] The task of the proposed invention is the creations of recoilless rifles are firing
range with minimal impact.
[0007] The technical result in the proposed device is achieved by using two-stage scheme
of throwing, features shot and counterweight.
[0008] The new combination of components allows to:
- Electrical or other originator - to initiate seed propellant charge;
- Initial propellant charge - is to provide an initial impulse to the fire and the subsequent
initiation of a propellant shot;
- Body shot and a core of the valve, which is a tube with a worn pad from the breech,
to one side in the building is tightly shot, while the other rests on the counterweight
- is to provide an initial impulse to the fire and the subsequent initiation of a
propellant shot;
- Worn pad core valve and counterweight - reduce the recoil impulse starter propellant
charge and momentum caused, by the build up of pressure due to the gas propellant
shot;
- Propellant charge - provide the required initial speed projectile or damaging elements;
- Projectile or manufactured submunitions - ensure implementation of the basic tasks
of the weapon, or complex;
- Trunk - the impulse effect on the shot, counterweight and firing in a particular direction
along the axis of the barrel.
[0009] The invention describes a drawing (fig. 1), which described one of the possible technical
solutions.
[0010] Recoilless rifle (fig. 1-a) consists of a trunk - 1, 2 - shot, 3 - counterweight,
electric or other catalyst - 4 and starter propellant charge - 5.
[0011] Shot (fig. 1-b), consists: chassis - 6 with the projectile or submunitions - 7 and
propelling charge - 8, the rod valve (aka tube) - 9, with the female side of the breech
area - 10, that one party, tightly in the building shot, while the other rests, on
the counterweight.
[0012] Shooting from Recoilless rifle is as follows (fig. 2).
[0013] Under the action of the initiator - 4 (fig. 2-a) the subsequent initiation of seed
propellant charge 5, calls the movement along a trunk in opposite directions, hull
6 shot and valve core 9 and 10, push counterweight - 3 to compensate for the recoil
impulse (fig. 2-b), when this, outlet valve core axis - 9 from the chassis - 6, lets
start a gas propellant charge 5 to penetrate in the chassis 6, through the opening
after the release of the core of the valve hole of the transmission detonation time
and initiate the propellant charge - 8 (fig. 2-c) that, in turn, will cause the increase
of pressure in order to obtain the desired initial speed projectile or projectiles
elements - 7 (fig. 2-d) the resulting additional recoil impulse, will be compensated
for by the inertia of the progressive movement chassis - 6 in the shot, inertia and
pressure starter, propellant charge and propellant gases in the expiration area of
lower pressure through in the chassis - 6 shot, hole transmission detonation point,
causing acceleration of motion valve core - 10 and 9 counterweight - 3 (fig. 2-e).
[0014] The proposed invention can provide enhanced range and minimal recoil impulse by a
constructive solution, that includes a two-tier scheme of throwing a projectile or
manufactured submunitions, though simple in terms of technology, that determines it's
mass production at low cost and high "efficiency-cost" in solving problems.

1. The Recoilless rifle is an thermal impulse machine, structurally, consisting of trunk,
body (aka counterweight), shot, consisting of a chassis that includes shell or ready
striking elements and propelling charge, the core of the valve, a tube with the female
side of the breech area, that one party, tightly in the building shot, while the other
rests, on the counterweight, the placed in the space between the pad core valve with
counterweight and a shot of electric initiator and initial propellant charge, other
than the fact that under the action of electric or other subsequent initiation initiator
starter propellant charge, calls the movement along a trunk in opposite directions,
chassis/body shot and valve core, push protivomassu to compensate for the recoil impulse,
with the output axis of the valve core out of the shot to start gas propellant charge
to penetrate the chassis/body shots and initiate the propellant charge shot, that
in turn, will cause the increase of pressure in order to obtain the desired initial
speed projectile or striking submunitions, in the resulting impact will'b offset by
additional momentum to the movement of the chassis/body shot and expired gas propellant
charge in a region of lower pressure resulting in a shot through the hole, causing
the acceleration of movement of the valve core and counterweight.

1. recoilless gun consisting of
- a gun tube (1),
- a body being a counterweight (3),
- a shell (2) consisting of a case (6) including a projectile or prepared damaging
elements (7) and a propellant charge (8),
- an electric or other initiator (4) and
- a starting propellant charge (5),
characterized in that
the shell (2) further comprises a piston comprising a piston rod (9) and a piston
head (10) at the breech side of the gun tube, which piston head (10) with one side
hermetically enters the shell case (6), while the other rests on the counterweight
(3), wherein the starting propellant charge (5) is disposable in the area between
the piston head (10) of the piston with the counterweight (3) and the shell (2),
wherein when operating the electric or the other initiator (4) the subsequent initiation
of the starting propellant charge (5) activates a movement along the gun tube in opposite
directions of the shell case (6) and the piston that pushes the counterweight (3)
for compensating the recoil impulse, thereby the exit of the piston rod (9) of the
piston from the shell case (3) allows gases of the starting propellant charge (5)
to penetrate into the shell case (6) and to initiate the propellant charge (8) of
the shell (2) which, in turn, will cause the required increase of pressure in order
to obtain the desired initial exiting speed of the projectile or the prepared damaging
elements (7),
whereby the appeared additional recoil impulse will be compensated by the motion of
the shell case (6) and the flow of gases of the propellant charge (8) in the area
of lower pressure through the orifice generated in the shell case (6), causing an
acceleration of motion of the piston and of the counterweight (3).
