Abstract:

A rapid fire gun round is made with a composite chamber. The chamber is loaded by rotational motion rather than br reciprocating motion. The round will work in a recoiless gun configuration. An alternate arrangement permits multiple barrels to be arranged with an ammunition chain to form a Gatling gun configuration. A liner can be inserted in the gun barrel to be replaced with wear as appropriate. PAT-CL-89-1.706. JES
