摘要 |
The invention provides a weapon intended to fire a caseless ammunition formed of a projectile (6) with a powder charge (7), said weapon comprises at least one tube (2) with an open end (2a) and a bottom (2b), and a fire triggering device (3) adapted for causing firing of the powder charge through priming means (8). This weapon is characterized by the fact that the bottom is equipped with temporary retention means (9) cooperating with the projectile (6), these means (9) being adapted so as to cease being active as soon as the pressure developed in the bottom reaches a value PM which may be optimized as a function of the caliber of the projectile, of the weight of the projectile, of the construction of the tube (smooth bore tube and/or rifled bore tube) and of the nature of the desired firing (short, medium or long range firing), such optimization being made possible by appropriately determining the temporary retention means. |
