Abstract
Based on the theory of a low-recoil rarefaction wave (RAVEN) gun firing cased telescoped ammunition (CTA), the models of interior ballistics and dynamics were established. The dynamic characteristic curves were obtained by numerical simulation analysis, and the results were verified by firing tests. Compared with traditional closed-breech guns, the low recoil force swing chamber gun keeps the projectile’s muzzle velocity basically unchanged, while the maximum recoil is reduced by up to 74%. Based on these results, the parameters of the inertial breech buffer spring were optimized while the maximum recoil force of the breech reduced by 14.2% without affecting system performance and structural installation size, which effectively improved the overall performance of the weapon system.
