TELESCOPED AMMUNITION REVOLVER GUN

Abstract

Enclosed is a self-powered telescoped ammunition revolver gun, including a frame which mounts a revolver cylinder having circumferentially spaced chambers and a cylindrical exterior surface on which is formed at least two U-shaped open cam channels, each having forward facing open entrance and exit ends spaced apart by the same angular distance as the chambers. First and second elongated drive cylinders extend forward from the frame on separate axes disposed outboard of the revolver cylinder and circumferentially spaced apart by their same angular distance as the chambers. Each drive cylinder mounts a spring loaded operating rod having a gas piston at its forward end and an exposed cam driver/follower proximate its rear end for successively engaging the U-shaped open cam channels to rotate the revolver cylinder and drive the gun as the rod reciprocates linearly in its drive cylinder. Gas channeling and diverting means is coupled between the gun barrel and the forward ends of the drive cylinders for tapping gas from the barrel bore and alternately directing the gas to the first and second drive cylinders responsive to the firing of successive rounds and to the rotary position of the revolver cylinder.
