Definitions
- the lever When the projectile section of barrel is being attached to the weapon system, the lever may be raised to aid in locating and locking the section of barrel, much like a conventional bolt-action rifle. To aid in orientating and locking the barrel section a keyring arrangement on the barrel assembly may also be used. In a preferred configuration when the lever is rotated to the lock position the key mechanism is also locked into position. In another embodiment of the invention, the barrel assembly is pushed into the barrel extension obliquely and then pushed down to be locked from behind by a spring loaded mechanical lock system. This same mechanical lock system may act as the ejection system for the spent barrel assembly.
- a spacer assembly may extend through the propellant space and the projectile head whereby compressive loads are transmitted directly through abutting adjacent spacer assemblies.
- the spacer assembly may add support to the detent and extension means.
- the extension means may be a thin cylindrical rear portion of the projectile head. Furthermore the extension means may form an operative sealing contact with the bore of the barrel to prevent burn leakage past the projectile head.
- FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of FN-FNC rifle modified to incorporate an overhead barrel assembly
- the electronic firing means may suitably be similar to any of the electronic firing arrangements, such as recesses provided in the barrel assembly 26 to accommodate ignition means or integrally manufactured with the barrel, as described in the present inventor's earlier International Patent Applications.
- a 40 mm barrel 21 may be converted into an electronically controlled 20 mm weapon.
