Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a machine gun wherein ammunition is fed automatically to the gun, and, more specifically, to an attachment for preventing the feeding of ball cartridges to the gun, the said attachment also forming a forward stop for blank cartridges.
  • a device of this character is desirable and useful to permit the use of blank cartridges during maneuvers and for saluting purposes and it renders the chances of an accident due to the feeding of a ball cartridge to the gun extremely remote.
  • T Figure 1 is a fragmentary plan view of a lock-frame and barrel-extension of a machine-gun, the cover removed and the bolt withdrawn, the attachment constructed in accordance with the invention shown in place therein;
  • Fig. 2 is a side elevationof the same, the
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective of the attachment or cartridge stop.
  • the usual barrel extension, 10, is provided, which is bored to receive the barrel, 11, with a sliding? fit so'that the barrel may reciprocate therein.
  • a cooling jacket, 12, is suitably secured to the forward end of the barrel extension and encases the forwardly projecting portion of the barrel, 11.
  • the barrel extension;' is formed at its forward end with an upstanding portion, 18, cut away to provide ears, 14, to which the cover, 15, may be pivotally connected or hinged.
  • a front cartridge stop, 16, is provided on the; barrel extension and consists of an inwardly projecting pin, as seen most clearly in dotted lines in Fig. 1.
  • a rear cartridge stop, 17, is also formed on the extension and is slotted to. permit the passage of the trigger (not shown) of the belt-feeding-pawl, 18, which is connected to the cover, 15.
  • A. belt holding pawl bracket, 19, is formed on one side of the barrel extension and this bracket is notched or apertured, as at 20 and 21, the notch, 20, forming a space for the reception of a belt holding pawl, 22,
  • any means may be resorted to for automatically stopping a ball cartridge from being-fed to the gun;
  • the means herein illustrated consisting in a formed block, 24, provided with a laterally extending lug, 25, which is adapted to enter the forward notch or aperture, 21, and this lug is bored to receive the split pin, 28, by which it is held in place.
  • the block, 24: is provided with a recess or socket, 26, in that end remote from the end at which the lug, 25, is formed and this socket is adapted to receive the front cartridge stop, 16, to retain the block in place in the barrel extension.
  • the block, 24, is formed at its rear face with an extending shoulder, 27, which serves to engage the forward end of a blank cartridge and stop the same in proper position to be grasped by the extractor (not shown).
  • the belt is fed through the gun with "the usual step by step movement under the action of the belt feeding pawl, the movement of the belt being limited by the movement of the pawl and the forward stop shoulder, 27, and usual rear stop, 17. Should a ball cartridge be present in the belt by accident or otherwise, the same could not be fed into the gun but would be stopped by the ball coming in contact with the near end face of the block, 24.
  • the combination with a machine gun having cartridge feeding mechanism including a forward cartridge stop of means connected to the gun and engaging the stop to prevent feeding of ball cartridges to the gun and form a forward stop for blank cartridges.
  • An attachment for automatic guns including a formed block adapted for detachable connection to a gun, the said block having an apertured lug at one end and a socket at theother whereby the block may be connected to the gun, there being a shoulder on the block to form a forward stop for blank cartridges.
