Abstract
Weapons system comprising a fixed reference, a launcher tube slidingly mounted in relation to the fixed reference and a damper inserted between the fixed reference and the launcher tube. The weapon further comprises a lock serving as a stop for the damper in the launching position, so as to avoid displacement of the damper in the initial launching phase, and a sensor which reacts to projectile launching, capable of releasing the lock so as to rearwardly eject the unit formed by the damper and the launcher tube.
