Magazine-integrated ammunition

Abstract

A device is provided to connect the ammunition and the magazine to each other not only in terms of design, but also in terms of function. The magazine and ammunition are combined to form sub-modules, wherein a plurality of sub-modules would then be comparable to the quantity of conventional ammunition in the launcher tube. The sub-modules are then assembled and locked. The individual sub-module contains, inter alia, rifling, by means of which, during firing, the ammunition/submunition is caused to rotate and is thereby stabilized.

1 . A magazine configured for munitions for a launcher for protection against end phase-guided munitions, the munitions being magazine-integrated so as to be accepted by submodules and several submodules directly form the magazine, which is pushed into the launcher or the launcher chute. 
     
     
         2 . The magazine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the magazine is closed by a handle and/or a locking device for transportation. 
     
     
         3 . The magazine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the submodules are connected together. 
     
     
         4 . The magazine as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the submodules comprise undercuts and protrusions for interconnection, wherein the first submodule of the magazine does not comprise a protrusion. 
     
     
         5 . The magazine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the submodules comprise at least one hook in a lower region and comprises cups corresponding to the submodules for receiving the hook(s) of the other submodules. 
     
     
         6 . The magazine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a latching device for the submodules is incorporated in an upper region of the submodules. 
     
     
         7 . The magazine as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the latching device is provided in the form of a notch and a protrusion that can latch into it. 
     
     
         8 . The magazine as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the latching device is in the form of a spring bolt, which is configured to engage in or behind a recess of a part extending away from the module. 
     
     
         9 . The magazine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein horizontal and vertical slats are arranged on the submodules, which engage in each other in the latched condition. 
     
     
         10 . The magazine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the submodules comprise rifling.
