A rapid-fire weapon has a barrel with a projectile insertable into the barrel, which comprises several sub-projectiles disposed one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the barrel and supporting each other. A propellant charge and an ignition means are provided behind each sub-projectile for the sequential ignition of the propellant charges so that the sub-projectiles are successively ejected from the barrel. The sub-projectiles (4) are firmly connected with each other in the area of the propellant charges (6, 6') in each case by means of a mechanical connection and the connections have in each case at least one rated break point (7, 7') which is broken in a defined fashion after the ignition of the respective propellant by the pressure of the propellant gases.

What is claimed is: 1. In a weapon, in particular a rapid-fire weapon, having a barrel with a projectile insertable into the barrel, which comprises several sub-projectiles disposed one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the barrel and supporting each other, a propellant charge being provided behind each sub-projectile, and an ignition means for the sequential ignition of the propellant charges so that the sub-projectiles are successively ejected from the barrel, the improvement wherein: the sub-projectiles are firmly connected with each other in the area of the propellant charges in each case by means of a mechanical connection; the connections have in each case at least one break point which is broken after the ignition of the respective propellant charge, when the propellant gases reach a predetermined pressure; the ignition means comprises for each propellant charge a pyrotechnical charge located outside the barrel, whose propellant gases enter in each case an ignition duct penetrating the wall of the barrel and ending in the area of the propellant charge and ignite the respective propellant charge; each propellant charge is disposed within a casing on the rear of each sub-projectile, the propellant charge having a housing which is centrally connected within the casing both with the appertaining sub-projectile and with the subsequent sub-projectile; the break point is located in the connection with the subsequent sub-projectile; and the casing of the propellant charge comprises lateral outflow openings which end in a pressure chamber delimited by the housing of the propellant charge, the casing and the head of the subsequent sub-projectile. 2. A rapid-fire weapon according to claim 1, wherein the mechanical connection between the sub-projectiles is a screw connection. 3. A rapid-fire weapon according to claim 1, wherein the casing at the rear of the sub-projectile is supported with its rear edge on at least one of (1) the subsequent sub-projectile and (2) a blind flange, in a pressure-tight fashion. 4. A rapid-fire weapon according to claim 3, wherein the rear edge of the casing and the subsequent sub-projectile have corresponding meshing teeth. 5. A rapid-fire weapon according to claim 1, wherein the casing of a sub-projectile is extended towards the rear and provided with an internal thread which engages into an external thread on the head of the subsequent sub-projectile, this screw connection forming the break point, and wherein the casing comprises a central anvil which is supported on the head of the subsequent sub-projectile. 6. A rapid-fire weapon according to claim 1, wherein the pyrotechnical ignition charges for all sub-projectiles of a rapid-fire weapon are combined together with cables and the ignition means provide the ignition pulses for the ignition charges to form a structural unit, which can be placed onto the barrel only shortly prior to the use of the weapon. 7. In a weapon, in particular a rapid-fire weapon, having a barrel with a projectile insertable into the barrel, which comprises several sub-projectiles disposed one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the barrel and supporting each other, a propellant charge being provided behind each sub-projectile, and an ignition means for the sequential ignition of the propellant charges so that the sub-projectiles are successively ejected from the barrel, the improvement wherein: the sub-projectiles are firmly connected with each other in the area of the propellant charges in each case by means of a mechanical connection; the connections have in each case at least one break point which is broken after the ignition of the respective propellant charge, when the propellant gases reach a predetermined pressure; the ignition means comprises for each propellant charge a pyrotechnical charge located outside the barrel, whose propellant gases enter in each case an ignition duct penetrating the wall of the barrel and ending in the area of the propellant charge and ignite the respective propellant charge; each sub-projectile comprises a continuous annular duct; at least one branch duct branches off from the annular duct, which leads to the propellant charge; and an ignition duct ends in the area of the annular duct in the barrel, which communicates in each case with a pyrotechnical ignition charge. 8. A rapid-fire weapon according to claim 7, wherein the annular duct is provided with a cover which is broken after the ignition of the ignition charge by the propellant gases thereof. 9. A rapid-fire weapon according to claim 7, wherein the mechanical connection between the sub-projectiles is a screw connection. 10. A rapid-fire weapon according to claim 7, wherein the casing at the rear of the sub-projectile is supported with its rear edge on at least one of (1) the subsequent sub-projectile and (2) a blind flange, in a pressure-tight fashion. 11. A rapid-fire weapon according to claim 10, wherein the rear edge of the casing and the subsequent sub-projectile have corresponding meshing teeth. 12. A rapid-fire weapon according to claim 7, wherein the casing of a sub-projectile is extended towards the rear and provided with an internal thread which engages into an external thread on the head of the subsequent sub-projectile, this screw connection forming the break point, and wherein the casing comprises a central anvil which is supported on the head of the subsequent sub-projectile. 13. A rapid-fire weapon according to claim 7, wherein the pyrotechnical ignition charges for all sub-projectiles of a rapid-fire weapon are combined together with cables and the ignition means provide the ignition pulses for the ignition charges to form a structural unit, which can be placed onto the barrel only shortly prior to the use of the weapon.
