Arrangement for supporting shell into breech-loading weapon barrel

摘要

The invention relates to an arrangement for supporting a shell into the barrel of a breech-loading weapon. The arrangement comprises a support piece (6) that is provided with an edge flange (7) and is to be fastened to a tail of the shell. The support piece further comprises a firing mechanism for firing the actual primer of the shell. The arrangement further comprises a connecting means (8) between the support piece (6) and the shell tail (4), the connecting means being arranged to fasten to the shell and to the support piece (6) and thus to fasten the support piece with a mechanical connection to the shell tail (4). The connecting means (8) comprises at least one shank part (9) having a first end and a second end, the first end of the shank part being arranged to fasten to the connecting means (8) and the second end to the shell tail (4). The fastening between the first end of the shank part and the shell is arranged to yield in a firing situation, thus enabling the detachment of the shell from the support piece. The second end of the shank part (9) is arranged to fasten to the shell tail tube (3) and to bend or turn away from the shell tail tube (3) in a firing situation.
