MACHINE GUN IN DEFENCE
The resistance of weapon and its firing stability
depends on the value of recoil forces. In the case of
the integration of weapons, if the barrel is rigidly
connected to the mount, the recoil force is fully
transmitted to the mount. Inorder to avoid
inconveniences of such connections, or
extended firing time load mount and to reduce its
intensity,barrel is elastically connected to the mount
which enables themovement of the barrel or whole
weapon during firing in thedirection of the axis of the
barrel.
The study of conditions to be satisfied by the stand of
the machine gun to be installed on a mobile platform
is the main goal of this paper. This involved the
construction of the rotating mount that could
withstand the loads created by recoil force, as well as
calculation of the forces that are transmitted
on the mobile platform. As an example, for the
integrationwas selected machine gun 12.7 mm M87.
In order to reach the optimal solution, the conditions
of the minimal force and minimal recoil mass of the
mount are set, taking into account the boundary
allowable conditions of material’s resistance, as well
as, the conditions concerningtactical use. The research
was carried out through four main
phases:
1) Optimization of internal ballistic parameters and
their influence on the recoil force of the machine gun;
2)Determination of machine gun recoil force;
3) Designing theappropriate mount based on the
construction of the machine
gun;
4) Determination of the mount and bearing loading.
The goal is to minimize the pressure of powder gases
in the barrel, but with as less as possible reduction of
characteristics that affect the efficiency of weapons,
primarily projectile velocity at the muzzle, and the
required tactical and technical characteristics of the
machine guns
Based on the design parameters of the machine guns, a
gun mount was designed together with the cradle and
the rotating bearing. Modelling was performed in the
software package CATIA V5R18 with the condition
of minimum recoil force and minimum allowable
mass of gun-mount. Since the selected machine gun is
gas operated, apart from the basic force of pressure of
powder gases at the head of a bolt which causes recoil
of machine gun, the force of pressure of powder gases
on the forehead of the piston in the gas cylinder
should be taken into account. All other forces that
occur during firing, are the resistance forces of recoil
and have the opposite direction
By internal ballistic calculation the maximum pressure
in the barrel of 12.7 mm machine gun which obtained
is pm = 328.98 МPa. By varying appropriate ballistic
parameters of powder, an optimal solution is obtained
(pm = 308.25 МPa).
