A priming arrangement in a jacket-or a caseless powder body or charge for small-bore weapons. In a caseless powder body, provision is made for the firing pin, at ignition misfire, to penetrate into the powder charge, however, being totally encompassed and screened by the cylindrical sleeve and the primer cap. In accordance therewith, the powder is protected from the hot tip of the firing pin.

Priming arrangement in a caseless powder charge for small-bore weapons

A powder element for ammunition not having a shell formed from a cup-shaped pressed propellant powder block with a priming agent mounted on the bottom wall thereof within the cavity defined by the cup-shaped block, and an anvil type propellant charge block, which extends at least partially into the cavity in a substantially mating relationship and abuts the priming agent.

Powder element

A tubular firearm in which a striker is guided in the bore of a bottom section of the cartridge chamber housing while the bottom section has a longitudinal bore therein with a chamber for receiving and storing a viscous fluid. A striker is reciprocable in the longitudinal bore and is provided with recess means while means, for instance a cam, is operatively connected to the striker for moving the same from a starting position to a striking position. The arrangement is such that when the striker occupies its starting position, the recess means are located within the region of the chamber adapted to receive and store viscous fluid. According to an embodiment of the invention, the striker is connected with an impact member through a joint having three degrees of freedom.
