ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling the rate of firing from a machine gun having means for imparting energy to an ammunition feed system, a rigidly locking breech block and a firing device, and having a recoil and counter-recoil device which is movably coupled by means of a differential recoil system to the gun mount wherein the control order necessary for detonation is derived from the simultaneous transmittal of a signal from a predetermined position of the breech block and a predetermined position of the recoil counter-recoil device during its oscillating movement. Means are provided for adjusting the delay of the counter-recoil movement of the recoil counter-recoil device by limiting the travel of a control piston within the recoil counter-recoil device.
