Abstract

The aim of the invention is to devise an inexpensive method and device that allows predefined target tolerances of an automatic weapon (1) to be maintained even in the range of prevailing resonant cadences. This aim is achieved by modifying the actual cadence of the automatic weapon from shot to shot around a predefined cadence lying within the range of a resonant cadence so that the time interval between successively triggered shots is alternately shorter and longer than the calculated constant time interval between the individual triggered shots that is calculated for the predefined cadence and that corresponds to the constant time interval required to fire the automatic weapon at the predefined cadence. In this way, the automatic weapon is controlled to fire at a time averaged cadence that is equal to the desired predefined cadence while avoiding ever actually firing the automatic weapon, shot-by-shot, at the resonant cadence.
