Definitions

  • An automatic firearm is provided with a magazine support structure which is fixed to the firearm and which includes magazine engaging lips located in the firearm in the conventional position, and a cartridge feeder member which is displaceable in the support structure by a feeder spring disposed at the free end of the support structure.
  • the support structure has a INTERCHANGEABLE MAGAZINE Inventors: Tilo Moller; Dieter Ketterer, both of 7238 Oberndorf, Germany Assignee: Heckler & Koch Gmbl-l, Oberndorf (Neckar), Germany Filed: June 15, 1971 Appl. No.: 153,349
  • a flat tubular magazine is disclosed which is open at both ends, one of which is adapted to be engaged and secured by the magazine lips, the other one is arranged to be entered by the feeder member for delivering the cartridges to the breech.
  • the magazine may be used as a packaging container for the cartridges.
  • This invention relates to an automatic hand firearm, in particular an automatic rifle with an interchangeable magazine.
  • Automatic hand firearms have a high firing rate so that provisions must be made for a sufficiently large store of cartridges and a fast feed of the stored cartridges, if the advantage of an automatic hand firearm is to be fully exploited. Therefore, removable or interchangeable magazines have become important for automatic hand firearms, in particular magazines of the flat tubular kind.
  • the latter are casings consisting generally of sheet metal which are provided at one end" a with magazine lips and which comprise in their interior a spring loaded feeder member which urges cartridges disposed in the casing in the direction towards the magazine lips against which the respective foremost cartridge comes to rest.
  • Recesses for these magazines are provided in the hand firearms, in particular a duct into which the upper end of the magazine having the maga zine lips can be inserted and detained by means of a latch.
  • the breech of the firearm presses individual cartridges successively out of the magazine, in the direction of the magazine lips, while the feeder member pushes the column of cartridges located in the magazine forward in such manner that the respective uppermost cartridge rests against the magazine lips and is ready to be inserted into the barrel of the firearm by means of the breech.
  • the invention is based on the object of avoiding the disadvantages of automatic hand firearms, which are caused by the use of removable or interchangeable magazines.
  • magazines lips as well as a feeder member and a feeder spring are component parts of a firearm and that an interchangeable magazine consists of a hollow body which encloses a space serving for receiving cartridges, the hollow body preferably forming the packaging container of the cartridges,-one end of the hollow body a being adjacent to the magazine lips and the other end thereof being engaged by the feeder member.
  • the magazine which, according to the invention, now comprises only the hollow body serving for accommodating the cartridges, is so simple to construct and therefore so economical to produce that the marksman need not preserve it but can throw it away after the cartridges have been spent.
  • the cartridges may be packed directly in such interchangeable magazines, so that the marksman need no longer occupy himself with the insertion of cartridges into a magazine.
  • a further advantage consists in that sensitive parts of the conventional magazines, in particular the magazine lips, are now disposed at a protected location in the firearm itself, so that loading interruptions by damaged magazines cannot occur any more and also the expenses are avoided which arose heretofore in connection with the replacement of damaged magazines.
  • a magazine support structure or duct accordingly provided on the firearm comprises at the upper end the magazine lips and encloses the feeder member and the feeder spring, but in this case the one side wall has an opening for inserting the magazine.
  • This construction of the hand firearm according to the invention has not only the advantage that the magazine duct forms a perfect guide for the feeder member and a satisfactory holder for the magazine, but also removable or pivotal parts are avoided which could make handling of the firearm difficult.
  • a cable which projects from the lower end of the magazine duct and is attached to the feeder member is sufficient in this case for pulling the feeder member into the lower part of the magazine duct to effect a change of the magazine, the feeder member then being located below the lower end of a magazine inserted into the magazine duct.
  • the magazine duct is provided with a bottom member on which the feeder spring which is in the form of a helical compression spring is supported and the cable extends through a bore in the bottom member.
  • a hollow end member may be located in the lower end of the magazine duct the walls of which end member are flush with the walls of an inserted magazine. This end member may simply be a section of a magazine which is inserted into the lower part of the magazine duct and is fixed therein.
  • the magazine duct may be surrounded by a sleeve which is telescopically displaceable thereon. In its rest position this sleeve covers the opening in the magazine duct and to permit interchange of the magazine, the sleeve can be withdrawn from the duct to such extent that the opening is released.
  • a particular advantage is obtained when the cable attached to the feeder member is also attached to the lower end of the sleeve which is preferably closed by a bottom member, because upon withdrawal of the sleeve from the magazine duct not only the opening serving for interchanging the magazine is then released, but also at the same time the feeder member is pulled into the section of the magazine duct which is downwardly adjacent to the opening.
  • the sleeve is additionally arranged to be detained on the duct in a position in which it releases this opening, the opening in the magazine duct can be released and the feeder member can be displaced and held in a position in which an interchange of the magazine is possible, by a single manipulation namely by withdrawing the sleeve. After removing and discarding an empty magazine and inserting a new full magazine, a further manipulation is sufficient for releasing the detent and moving the sleeve back into its starting position in which it covers the opening in the magazine duct and releases the feeder member again.
  • a loaded pawl may be mounted in a simple manner on a wall of the sleeve, e.g. on the wall forming the forward narrow side, a lip of this pawl penetrating through this wall and engaging in detent grooves which are disposed on the adjacent wall of the magazine duct.
  • a rail may be provided on the wall of the magazine duct which has interruptions serving as detent grooves.
  • a further detent position for the sleeve is additionally provided in which the upper edge of the sleeve has a spacing of at least one finger width from abutment faces for this edge and/or the edge of the opening for inserting the magazine.
  • the invention extends also to a magazine for a hand firearm of the kind referred to above.
  • a magazine for a hand firearm of the kind referred to above.
  • such magazine may consist of a hollow body preferably serving directly as a packaging container which is cylindrical or slightly curved in its longitudinal direction and which has substantially uniform cross section, that is to say it may correspond in its middle section to the tubular magazines used heretofore.
  • a resilient rail with depressions suitable for the inserted cartridges is disposed, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, on the inside of at least one side wall of the hollow body.
  • Such rail affords sufficient support to the cartridges in order to retain them in the hollow body during the manipulation of the magazine. Nevertheless the feeder member pushes the cartridges reliably through the hollow body in a perfect manner.
  • the resilient rail may advantageously consist of a synthetic resin strip inserted into an undercut groove of the side wall, and a resilient element may then be disposed between the bottom of the groove and the rear side of the strip.
  • This spring element may be e.g. a simple strip of foam material; however, in view of long storage ability and constancy of the spring characteristic over a wide temperature range, use of a blade spring is preferred.
  • the magazine according to the invention is constructed for a double row arrangement of cartridges it is suitably provided with resilient rails on its two side walls.
  • FIG. 1 is the side view of a rifle according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a section along the line [I II through the rifle according to FIG. 1, on an enlarged scale
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the section of the rifle according to FIG. 1 comprising the magazine arrangement, partly in side view and partly section along the line 111 III in FIG. 2,

  • a magazine arrangement 5 comprises a magazine support structure or duct 11 which consists in the present example of a box open on one wide side and which is rigidly connected to the firearm casing 1, e.g. by welding. At the upper end of the duct 11 there are provided magazine lips 12 which are also rigidly connected to the duct 11 and to the firearm casing 1, e.g. again by welding.
  • This duct 1 1 has a bottom 13, and a hollow end member 14 is inserted into the lower part of the duct and has in crosssection approximately the same internal dimensions as a magazine 15 to be inserted into the duct.
  • a feeder spring 16 of conventional construction is supported on the bottom 13 of the duct and tends to press a feeder member 17 disposed in the duct 11 in the direction towards the magazine lips 12.
  • the cross-section of the duct 11 is matched to the crosssection of the magazine 15 and the existing side wall 18 of the duct is consequently provided in the region of its center with a longitudinal rib 19 which rests against a corresponding longitudinal rib 20 of the magazine 15.
  • Each of the two side walls of the magazine 15 is provided with such longitudinal rib 20.
  • the duct 11 is surrounded on its whole length by a sleeve 21 the cross-section of which is adjusted to the cross-section of the duct 11 and the magazine 15 and moreover has the same curvature in the longitudinal direction as the magazine 15 and the duct 11, so that the sleeve 21 is telescopically displaceable on the duct 11.
  • the sleeve 21 consists of a hollow sheet metal body which is closed at its lower end by a slide cover 22.
  • the sleeve is provided with a longitudinal rib 23 on the major part of its length. On both sides of these longitudinal'ribs 23 there are located transverse ribs 24 which serve for stiffening the sleeve as well for improving its grip.
  • a pawl 26 is pivotally mounted near the upper end of the sleeve 21 on the outside of a wall thereof which, considered in the direction of firing, forms the forward narrow side of the sleeve.
  • This pawl supports on its downwardly directed arm a lip 27 which extends through an opening 28 in the wall 25 of the sleeve.
  • pawl 26 is loaded by a spring 29 which tends to press the lip 27 into the opening 28.
  • the wall 25 of the sleeve 21 provided with the pawl 26 is disposed at a certain spacing from the adjacent wall 30 of the duct 11.

  • a cable 35 is attached to the feeder member 17 and extends through the windings of the feeder spring 16 to the bottom 13 of the duct 11 and further through an opening 36 in this bottom and through a slot 37 in the slide cover 22 of the sleeve 21.
  • the end of the cable 35 which projects from the slide cover 22 of the sleeve 21 is provided with a head 38 which is supported on the outside of the slide cover 22.
  • the cable 35 is tensioned when the feeder member 17 is in its uppermost position, when the magazine is absent or empty, whereas the cable lies loosely within the compressed feeder spring 16 when the feeder member 17 is in its lower position as illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • the cable 35 as indicated by broken lines in FIG. 3 may alternatively hang freely out of the slide cover 22 and indicate by the length of its section 35' which hangs out of the slide cover to which extent the magazine is filled.
  • the magazine 15 consists of a hollow body of synthetic resin which is open at its two ends and which can be produced e.g. by moulding, but alternatively also by extrusion, in large lengths and can then be cut to a desired length.
  • the cross-sectional dimensions of the magazine 15 are so selected that it accommodates cartridges 41 in two mutually offset rows.
  • a rib or rail 42 projecting inwardly from the forward narrow side of the magazine 15 serves for guiding the points of the cartridges, whereas rib or rails 43 projecting inwardly from the side walls provide guidance of the cartridges in the region of the forward ends of the cartridge casings.
  • the magazine 15 is provided in the region of the outwardly projecting longitudinal ribs 20 with resilient rails on the insides of its side walls which are rails formed by strips 44 of synthetic resin.
  • These synthetic resin strips are provided on their side adjacent to the magazine wall with laterally projecting edges by which they engage into undercut portions of a groove 45 disposed on the inside of the magazine wall in the region of each longitudinal rib 20.
  • a blade spring 46 which presses the associated synthetic resin strip 44 in the direction towards the magazine interior.
  • the faces of the synthetic resin strips adjacent to the magazine interior are provided with depressions 47 into which engage the cartridges 41 in the manner clear from FIGS. 5 and 7.
