Abstract

1,244,446. Limiting field of firing. RHEINMETALL G.m.b.H. 25 Aug., 1969 [12 Sept., 1968], No. 42295/69, Heading F3C. An apparatus for limiting the field of firing of a weapon movable in elevation and training, e.g. a mounted machine gun, and having a firing solenoid 14 comprises an electronic control system 12 for controlling the action of the firing solenoid 14 and training and elevation cycle pick-up means C#, Cγ for disposition on the weapon. By means of the pick-up means C#, Cγ the blocked areas for fire are fed into a store of the electronic control system and the store is then interrogated during firing of the weapon to prevent the weapon from firing when it is sighted into the blocked area. The store may be a core store. "Windows" may be provided in the blocked area. The control system is provided with a programme selector switch (Fig. 4, not shown) to give different types of firing of the weapon. A round counter 18 in the form of a proximity measuring head may be provided on the weapon. A dynamic and ballistic computer takes account of the delay in the de-activation of the firing solenoid and correcting the errors made in the setting-up of the blocked areas in the store.
