Method and system for firing a revolver cannon

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The trigger mechanism (10) is complimented by a fast-acting electromagnet (2). During each individual shot, this arrests and then releases the hammer (6), via a lever (3) of the trigger mechanism (10). The electromagnet operates more rapidly than the trigger mechanism. It includes a plunger (1), coil (9) and spring (8). The hammer is cocked via the lever (7) of the gun mechanism, on each firing cycle. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim IS INCLUDED FOR the corresponding method of firing #CMT#USE : #/CMT# A mechanism for variable-rate firing of a gun with revolving action. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# Variable firing rate is enabled, when using a mechanical firing mechanism. Each shot is fired at the desired instant, independently of the mechanical cycle of the weapon. The design is suitable for controlling rapid, single-shot firing. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a selectively cross-sectioned schematic side view of the firing mechanism. 1 : plunger 2 : fast-acting electromagnet 3 : lever 6 : hammer 7 : lever 8 : spring 9 : coil 10 : trigger mechanism.
