Предлагаю в етой теме запостить информацию про редкие модели гранатометов.
1 Арпад 600. Переводом невладею, но и без него все ясно
ARPAD 600
Paraphrased from Jane's Infantry Weapons 1985-1986
Origin: Swiss
35mm close supprt weapon
Further development of Falconnet close support weapon system.
Shoulder-fired, multi-purpose close support weapon for infantry.
Lightweight & compact, can be directed at targets rapidly, can deal with stationary or moving targets & can be fired from cover.
The rifled barrel is supported on a shoulder frame and is free to recoil, the movement being controlled by a hydro-pneumatic buffer above the tube.
HE & Illum rounds developed. Ammo weight is so light that one man can carry 20 to 30 rounds.
Overall length: 960mm
Overall weight: 6.8kg
Barrel length: 805mm
Recoil stroke: 305mm
Sights: Optical
Practical range: stationary target 600m; moving target 400m
Ammunition
35mmx176mm
Muzzle velocity: 600m/s
Time of flight to 500m: 1 second
Time of flight until self destruct: 2 seconds
Penetration, HE: 50mm steel plate
Weight, HE: 167g
Правда неасно почему так и оказался забыт. Может за рано появился и для него невидели тактической ниши?
2 Гранатомет Фалконет. 24 мм, 5 зарядов, вес 6 кг. По дизайну похож был скока помню на Спас 15. Боеприпасы 24 гранаты и аналог картечного выстрела с 12 пульками. Вес гранаты 0,15 кг, дальность 700м. Скорость для пулек находил 600 м/с, но помоему ето ошибка. Отдача будет больше чем от 12,7*99. При таком весе оружия ето крайне сомнительно.
Relatively light in weight, the Falconet employed small-caliber grenades of only 24mm in diameter, two types of grenades were contemplated, an offensive grenade with an HEDP warhead and a defensive grenade packed with 12 heavy tungsten flechettes. The grenades were to have been stabilized by fins and by the distribution of weight in the grenade. Operation was by blowback, employing a reciprocating barrel to help absorb recoil as well as a multi-baffle muzzle brake. (Its straight-line profile also helped in this respect.) For carry purposes, the barrel can also be telescoped back to the muzzle brake to provide a more compact package (though it cannot be fired in this configuration). Magazines were to be of light alloy, and coincidentally appeared similar to those of the later Barrett M-82 series. Leaf-type iron sights were to be standard, though a mount for optical sights was provided; the Falconet was intended to be a relatively direct-fire weapon.
А ето пульки для Фальконета. Масса как понимаю одной 5,85 грамма. Shown on the right are some dart-like projectiles for an experimental Swiss weapon in the 70s called the Sarmac "Falconet". This was intended to fire 24mm explosive shells/grenades as "Offensive rounds" and "Defensive rounds" containing multiple projectiles. Data for the Defensive round gives a weight of 70gm and if this refers just to the twelve projectiles this would give each a weight of around 90gr.Жаль калибр неуказан, но по подсщетам там около 6 мм.
Странно что в дробовиках такие пульки неиспользуетса. Наверно всеж как и стрелы они до стабилизации немало кувыркаетса.
