ABSTRACT:
A rapid rate of fire, multiple barrel gun employing triangularly shaped cartridges that are fed and ejected transversely to the barrels of the gun. Each barrel has its own separate feed and ejection system, that are driven in common in a synchronized but out-of-phase relationship to successively fire from the different barrels. During each cycle of feed, the cartriges are successively accelerated, then moved at constant speed, then decelerated, and monentarily stopped during firing. The common drive mechanism transfers energy from the feed being decelerated to a different feed being accelerated to more efficiently drive the plural feed and ejection mechanisms at high speed.
