Abstract:
A weapon for firing cased telescoped (CT) ammunition includes a barrel. a chamber cavity aligned with the barrel, and a translating chamber member defining a chamber for holding a CT round for firing. The chamber member moves between a firing position in the chamber cavity and an ejection/loading position for ejecting a spent CT round and receiving a next CT round. A breech member closes a rear end of the chamber. A carrier performs a counter-recoil operation in which (1) the chamber member is moved from the ejection/loading position to the firing position with the next CT round therein, and (2) the breech is urged into a closed position against the next CT round in the chamber to remove headspace before the next CT round is fired from the weapon.

Claim (Index 9):
The weapon of  claim 2 , wherein the breech member is part of a ratchet mechanism also including a latching clamp, and wherein the breech member and clamp have mating teeth mutually configured to permit rotation of the breech member toward the chamber member while preventing rotation away from the chamber member, the latching clamp having closed and open positions in which the teeth of the latching clamp are engaged with and disengaged from, respectively, the teeth of the chamber member, the latching clamp transitioning from the closed position to the open position during an initial part of recoil to enable the breech member to be rotated away from the chamber member, and latching clamp subsequently transitioning from the open position to the closed position such that the breech member is rotated toward the chamber member in a ratcheted fashion during counter-recoil.
