Title:
Investigation of Drive Power Requirements in High Rate Open Chamber Weapons

Abstract:
The use of high rate-of-fire open chamber guns could be limited if power required to drive them proves excessive. An eight-barreled test fixture was designed and built to simulate the conditions of a small open chamber gun firing at rates up to 600 shotssec. Test ammunition was developed in both percussion and electric-primed versions. Twenty-nine firing tests were made to measure sliding friction while varying rate of fire, frame material, cartridge surface coatings, and number of shots fired.
