Gun-Barrel Vibrations of Rapid-Fire Medium Caliber Guns Prof Tom Dawson U 43RD ANNUAL ARMAMENT SYSTEMS: GUN & MISSILE SYSTEMS CONFERENCE Gun-Barrel Vibrations of Rapid-Fire Medium Caliber Guns Prof Tom Dawson U. S. Naval Academy April 23, 2008 with support from NAVSEA Naval Gunnery Project Office and Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren I. Background Barrel Vibrations Barrel vibrations can affect accuracy of both slow firing and rapid firing guns by causing positive or negative “muzzle jump”during projectile launch. Vibrations can arise from gravity-caused barrel droop or barrel curvature from manufacturing… or both. Possible enhanced effect with rapid-fire guns where vibrations from one round continue to exist and can be reinforced by subsequent rounds. Present Interest … in rapid-fire medium-caliber gun mounts and the effects of barrel vibrations on their accuracy. Motivation …generated by evaluation and selection of gun mounts for the new Littoral Combat Ships and for other similar Navy needs Early Navy Work Near-muzzle barrel vibrations of 3-in/70 Gun Mount during travel of projectile through the barrel -Single Firings Dahlgren Report of 1951 B. M. Gurley & S.E. Hedden Novel use of optical reflections and “Fastax” camera to measure rotations (slopes) of barrel section near muzzle during projectile launch …and Early Record of Barrel Vibrations Section Rotation Δφ = φ1−φ2 φ2 φ1 Early Army Work Dispersion of machine-gun fire as influenced by firing rate. Increased dispersion measured when firing rate near fundamental barrel vibration frequency - or twice that frequency. Basis for design criterion that: barrel frequency in cycles/sec should generally be 4 (or more) times the firing rate in rounds/sec. 1955 Report on Barrel Vibrations D. E. Wente R. L. Schoenberger B. E. Quinn First study of dynamic amplification of barrel vibrations from “tuned” firing rates Dynamic Amplification of Barrel (from 1955 Army Report) Dispersion Avg R Circle Barrel curvature from manufacture Previous Numerical Work on Barrel Vibrations Numerical studies were carried out at the Army’s Watervliet Arsenal during 1970’s (and onward) with attention restricted to barrel vibrations before projectile exit: No multiple firings.

  • Wear and Erosion in Large Caliber Gun Barrels
    UNCLASSIFIED/UNLIMITED Wear and Erosion in Large Caliber Gun Barrels Richard G. Hasenbein Weapon Systems & Technology Directorate Armament Engineering & Technology Center U.S. Army Armament Research, Development & Engineering Center Mailing Address: Benét Laboratories Watervliet Arsenal Watervliet NY 12189-4050 [email protected] PREFACE “Wear and erosion” is one of several failure mechanisms that can cause large caliber Gun Barrels to be condemned and removed from service. This paper describes the phenomenon, its causes and effects, methods that are used to passively manage it, and steps that are taken to actively mitigate it. 1.0 GUN BARRELS – BACKGROUND A large caliber Cannon (Figure 1) is a pressure vessel whose primary function is to accurately fire projectiles at high velocities towards a target. Figure 1: Representative Large Caliber Cannon At its simplest, a Cannon consists of two major sub-assemblies: • “Gun Barrel”: a long, slender Tube that serves multiple functions such as safely containing high pressure combustion gases and providing a means for aiming/guiding the projectile in the intended direction; • “Breech”: an assembly that seals off the rear of the Gun Barrel during firing, but which can be quickly opened to allow loading of ammunition. It also contains a device used to initiate the combustion process. Paper presented at the RTO AVT Specialists’ Meeting on “The Control and Reduction of Wear in Military Platforms”, held in Williamsburg, USA, 7-9 June 2003, and published in RTO-MP-AVT-109. RTO-MP-AVT-109 16 - 1 UNCLASSIFIED/UNLIMITED UNCLASSIFIED/UNLIMITED Wear and Erosion in Large Caliber Gun Barrels 1.1 GUN BARREL INTERNAL GEOMETRY Internally, a Gun Barrel often features three distinct regions (Figure 2): • “bore”: a long cylindrical hole machined to exacting tolerances for diameter, axial straightness, and surrounding wall thickness; • “combustion chamber”: a much shorter hole at the breech-end of the Gun Barrel that is coaxial with the bore and has a slightly larger diameter.

  • Glossary of Firearms Terminology
    European Firearm Experts (EFE) Group Glossary of Firearms Terminology January 2013 Aim One of the recommendations of the European Union Threat Assessment - Assessing the Threat from the Criminal Use and Supply of Firearms within the European Union (November 2011) written by the UK on behalf of the EFE was the need to create a standard glossary of firearms terminology. The Glossary of Firearms Terminology is an EFE initiative that has been lead by the UK as part of an EFE Working Group. It is not a document intended to change terminology in Member State’s domestic legislation, but rather to ensure that EFE members are able to communicate effectively when discussing firearms and is intended for use by the EFE representatives, who are Law Enforcement and Customs officers, not technical firearm specialists. This document is intended to be a living document that will be updated as required centrally via the EFE and has been officially disseminated in January by the EFE for use by all EFE Member States.

ATF Rul. 2005-4 The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has received requests from manufacturers of paintball guns for evaluation and classification of integral devices intended to diminish the report of a paintball gun. Specifically, the manufacturers have asked whether the device would be considered a “silencer” as defined in the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA), 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, and the National Firearms Act (NFA), 26 U.S.C. Chapter 53. The sample submitted is a paintball gun with a ported device attached to the barrel. The paintball gun uses compressed air to expel a projectile. The paintball gun has a barrel with a smooth bore 12 1/4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. The barrel is permanently welded to the paintball gun. The section of the barrel that the device is attached to has an internal diameter of .68 inches and is ported with 20 openings. Ten of the openings are rectangular in shape and are approximately .430 inches wide and 1 inch in length. The other 10 openings are oval in shape and approximately .25 inches wide and 1 inch in length.

The exit state of the projectile serves as initial conditions to the projectile’s flight path to its intended target. A relatively accurate and quick running model of this would be beneficial to assess accuracy, especially for the newer, lightweight ordnance weapons. Since simulations are just mathematical models of reality, validation is an extremely important aspect of their use. The subject weapon has a plethora of field generated experimental data regarding accuracy and dispersion for several unique gun tubes. We are submitting a validation effort of our modeling techniques through the attempted reproduction of this data using dedicated models and statistics knowing full well that replication of field generated data is most difficult.

  • Firearm Suppressor Fact Sheet
    Firearm Suppressor Fact Sheet Objectives: The foundation of the attempt to ban firearm suppressors in Virginia is built on the misconception that suppressors can render the noise of a gunshot silent or inaudible. This could hardly be further from the truth as even the quietest suppressed gunshot is as loud as a jackhammer striking concrete. Suppressors are not a danger to society and banning them will not save lives. In order to fully understand suppressors, it is imperative that you hear them for yourself. To this end, the American Suppressor Association would be happy to host an educational suppressor demonstration for any members of the legislature or media at any time of your choosing. Background: Suppressor Basics The terms “silencer” and “suppressor” refer to the same thing – a muffler for a firearm. Contrary to popular belief, no tool will ever be able to make a gunshot silent. Outside of the context of shooting, nothing will even be able to make them quiet. Guns are simply too loud. On average, suppressors reduce the noise of a gunshot by 20 – 35 decibels (dB), roughly the same sound reduction as earplugs or earmuffs. Even the most effective suppressors on the market, on the smallest and quietest calibers (.22 LR) reduce the peak sound level of a gunshot to around 110 – 120 decibels. To put that in perspective, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), that is as loud as a jackhammer (110 dB) or an ambulance siren (120 dB). When a gun is fired, a controlled explosion of gunpowder propels the bullet through the barrel.
