Abstract

The paper deals with the problem of the recocking of rhe automatic cannon (e.g. in the aircraft in case of its stoppage). Pyrocartridges are utilized for this case. The theory enabling the theoretical solution of this case is presented. It consists of three periods including the only burning of the propellant, the burning combined with the flow of gases into the gas cylinder and this flow after the end of propellant burning. The losses during the gas flow are discussed. The comparison of the theoretical solution with results of experiments is shown. Problems of propellant burning have been solved by the first author, the flow of gases into the cylinder and the acceleration of the weapon mechanism by the second author.
