Abstract
For an externally powered weapon, in particular a machine weapon and a machine gun, having at least one barrel, a recoil intensifier at the front end of the barrel is proposed to intensify a weapon return of the returning masses of the weapon and to generate and intensify a signal for monitoring, in particular functionally monitoring, the weapon. The recoil intensifier is of a flared form. The signal intensified by the intensification is used for example for counting the number of shots fired, initiating an emergency stop function, etc. Depending on the further use, the mechanically intensified signal may be converted into an electrical signal.
