ABSTRACT:
An improved floating machine cannon of the type utilizing the counter-recoil method of firing is disclosed wherein two normally open switches are used to detect when the breech block locks in place and when the recoil damper reaches the optimum point in its forward movement to commence the second and subsequent detonations. Detonation for the second and subsequent firing cycles can only occur at such time when both switches are closed.
