| 摘要 |
The gun barrel stabilizer system of the present invention increases or optimizes the accuracy of guns including small arms and artillery. The invention consists of a device called a gun barrel stabilizer rigidly attached at the gun muzzle, and extending toward the gun breech, without further contact with the gun barrel or other gun components. The device responds to the same forces which cause recoil motion and, by virtue of its cantilever nature, resists angular deflection of the gun muzzle during firing. The stabilizer system, in an optimized state, serves to maintain the final segment of the gun barrel at the muzzle moving though a locus of parallel positions up to the time of projectile release. In the absence of angular deflection at the muzzle, gun accuracy is increased to a maximum allowed by the remaining limitations of cartridge performance and barrel bore quality. Preferred embodiments provide for the combination of the device with gun sights, muzzle brakes, compensators, counterweights, bayonet lugs, and/or flash suppressors including accommodation for the added mass resulting from the combination. Preferred embodiments additionally provide for various modes of attachment of the invention to gun barrels.
