ABSTRACT:
A dispersible countermass system for a recoilless weapon, designed to be installed in a weapon barrel and to be ejected on firing through a rear portion thereof by a piston driven by the pressure of the combustion gases of a propellant charge while a projectile is simultaneously being launched towards the front portion of the barrel, the system comprising a charge of dispersible and inert matter disposed inside a case that is closed by a cover and by an end, wherein the case is formed by a cylindrical wall that fits inside the barrel and that is prevented from moving in translation relative thereto, and wherein the cover is connected to the case via connection means that are ruptured by the piston on firing, the case serving to guide the piston which has a peripheral rim that remains in contact with the case so as to provide sealing for the gases, the piston thus serving to eject the inert matter from the barrel.
