Zusammenfassung: | A recoilless firearm, and round of ammunition therefore, are disclosed. The firearm has a bolt having a bore therein for the passage of exhaust gasses from the firing chamber to an exhaust tube at the rear end of the weapon. The exhaust tube contains a restricted opening, such as a venturi, to counter recoil. The round of ammunition has a single gas discharge opening in its rear end, with the ammunition casing having no apertures in the walls thereof. The use of the recoilless firearm, and round of ammunition therefor, of the present invention allows automatic and semiautomatic weapons to be extremely light while utilizing powerful ammunition propelling charges. |
