Abstract

The utility model relates to the field of small arms and cannon weapons and serves to aim small arms at a target and make it stable when fired, and can also be used as an additional element that provides a significant increase in the likelihood of crew survival, damaged or destroyed armored vehicles. The purpose of this utility model is the possibility of using a regular Kalashnikov tank machine gun as its infantry counterpart, thereby increasing the combat effectiveness of the crew, damaged or destroyed armored vehicles in conditions of intense combat, and therefore its survival. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to use the proposed technical solution presented in the form of a quick-detachable increased length of the bipod to the Kalashnikov tank machine gun and allowing you to install the product on the barrel in a matter of seconds. It allows the use of a tank machine gun as an infantry variant in conditions of intense combat, thereby increasing the firepower and survivability of the crew, damaged or destroyed armored vehicles.

Description

The utility model relates to the field of small arms and cannon weapons and serves to aim small arms at a target and make it stable when fired, and can also be used as an additional element that provides a significant increase in the likelihood of crew survival, damaged or destroyed armored vehicles.

Today, almost all armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, in addition to the main gun, are armed with one or more 7.62-mm Kalashnikov tank machine guns (hereinafter referred to as PKT). In conditions of intense combat or short-term fire contact, when an armored object is hit or destroyed, the crew of combat vehicles is forced to abandon damaged equipment with surviving weapons and combat kit and move towards their main forces armed with ineffective shortened machine guns or pistols. The use of the PKT as an infantry machine gun was impossible due to the presence of an electric trigger, the lack of attachment of an ammunition box, sights and a bipod. However, if the appropriate elements are included in the kit of an armored object (tank, infantry fighting vehicle, infantry fighting vehicle), then the crew of a combat vehicle has the opportunity to use a tank machine gun as an infantry variant, thereby increasing the combat power and survivability of the crew of a damaged vehicle.

A bipod of small arms is known (see Manual on small arms. 7.62 mm Kalashnikov light machine gun (RPK and RPKS). Military Publishing House of the USSR Ministry of Defense. M., 1973, pp. 41-42), containing a base with limited rotation relative to the longitudinal axis of the weapon, a support, a spring device for fixing the supports in various positions. The bipod has the ability to fold back and forth along the barrel.

The disadvantages of the analog are the lack of accuracy due to changes in the midpoint of impact (STP) when firing with emphasis on the barrel, when firing with emphasis on the receiver with a free barrel as a result of deflection of the barrel, and especially when firing with a telescopic sight; the impossibility of changing the aiming line at a constant aiming angle; the difficulty of removing the bipod from the weapon.

Known bipod small arms (Patent RU No. 2215256, IPC F41A 23/08, published 10/27/2003), where the bipod contains a base with grooves, spring-loaded legs with hooks, the axis of the bipod, pivotally connected to the legs, a connecting device for mounting on weapons and stops for limiting the weapon relative to the bipod, which facilitates the horizontal guidance of the weapon.

The disadvantages of this technical solution are the use of a bipod for a certain type of weapon, the place of attachment of the bipod is strictly fixed, there is no possibility of angular rotation of the axis of the barrel in a vertical plane perpendicular to the direction of fire, when using weapons when firing from inclined surfaces (on a slope), the inconvenience of bringing bipods into combat position .

The closest technical solution is presented in the form of a small arms bipod with a built-in base with a clamp for attaching a gas piston to the tube, two legs with skids for resting on the ground and protrusions for fixing in a difficult position, springs for spreading the legs, there is a spring fastener on the left leg of the bipod for fastening the legs in a difficult position, and on the right leg - a movable clamp with a lock for the ramrod links in the inner cavity of the leg. The bipod is not separated from the gas piston tube (Instructions on shooting. - M .: Military Publishing House of the USSR Ministry of Defense, 1985, pp. 385-386).

The disadvantages of this design are the rigid fixation of the bipod legs relative to the weapon in the combat position, which makes it difficult to horizontally point the weapon, due to the movement of the bipod legs along the supporting surface (ground), as well as the presence of several fixing elements on the base to hold the bipod legs in combat, folded forward. or folded back positions, which complicates the design.

The purpose of the proposed utility model is to create the possibility of using a regular PKT as part of an armored object, taking into account the elimination of the above disadvantages, which ensures the result of improving performance by mounting on the barrel at the attachment point of the muzzle device, which ensures the angular rotation of the weapon barrel in a vertical plane perpendicular to the direction firing and quickly bringing the bipod to the PKT into combat position, as well as quick installation (removal) for use on an armored object.

The bipod to the PKT allows the use of a tank machine gun as its infantry counterpart, namely, to fire from a tank machine gun with an emphasis on the ground, window frames or other objects using this utility model. This significantly increases the convenience, accuracy and efficiency of firing by the crew of a damaged combat vehicle from uncomfortable positions.

This technical solution is illustrated by the figures:

fig. 1 - general view of the device;

fig. 2 - bipod to PKT in working position.

The bipod to the PKT contains a base 1, made with the restriction of the movement of the barrel in two degrees of freedom in the longitudinal axis by the taper of the barrel and in the transverse axis by a restrictive ledge, made with the possibility of fixing on the frame of the muzzle device lock; folding racks with sharp ends 2, made with a length equal to the length of the racks of regular PKT bipods, increased by a length of 140 mm, allowing the use of a regular machine-gun box with PKT ammunition with a capacity of 200 rounds, and fixed at the base with a bolted connection 3; lock racks in the stowed position 4; quick-detachable mount to the barrel 5; restrictive petals 6, preventing the racks from sinking deep into the ground; quick-release fastener 7.

The device works as follows.

If the armored vehicle PKT 8 is damaged, it is removed from it, the electric trigger is separated. Instead, a butt 9 is attached, a butt plate body with a pistol grip and a trigger mechanism 10, after which a bipod is installed to the PKT 11 on the barrel 12 at the muzzle device 13. Then a box with a cradle 14 is attached. The design of the device provides the necessary and sufficient height for using a machine-gun box from an armored vehicle increased capacity, as well as the possibility of its transfer to various positions due to the quick attachment to the barrel and the reduction of manual operations, which speeds up the preparation for the use of PKT as an infantry variant.

Thus, the proposed utility model - a bipod to the PKT allows the use of a tank machine gun as an infantry variant, thereby increasing the combat power, efficiency and survival of the crew of the damaged vehicle.
