An apparatus and method relating to a cased telescoped ammunition assembly configured to be fired from a firing device. Under one aspect of the invention, a cased telescoped ammunition assembly includes a combustible case body and noncombustible end caps connected to opposing ends of the case body. The case body is configured to be substantially consumed in combustion when the ammunition assembly is fired. An internal support structure is positioned in the interior portion of the case body and connected to the end caps. The internal support structure and the end caps define a load-bearing unit that provides a load path substantially independent of the case body. The load-bearing unit is configured to react external loads, such that the combustible case body is substantially isolated from and does not react the external loads.

The invention relates to an ignition device for the propulsive charge of a telescoped piece of ammunition, including a case (2) that is generally cylindrical in shape in which are housed a pyrotechnic composition (3) and a device (4) for ignition thereof. The case (2) has at least one end wall (6) traversed by several channels (10) which each extend along an axis (A1) that slopes in relation to the centre line (A) of the case (2). This device enables all the propulsive charge of a round of ammunition of the telescoped type to be ignited almost immediately.

This invention relates to a means for utilizing smaller-diameter bullets in larger-diameter cartridge cases, to achieve higher velocity without bottlenecking the cartridge case, and a firearm having a reduced bore adapted to that cartridge. Additionally, the invention provides a means of sealing the cylinder-to-barrel gap in revolvers, eliminating gas leakage at that point and thereby increasing muzzle velocity by eight to twenty percent.This invention is applicable to current gun models and cartridge components with little modification.

A cartridge case adapter member is adapted to fit over a fin hub member of fin stabilized projectile and is securely held thereto by the combination of an interlocking retainer sleeve and retainer plug. The combination projectile-to-combustible cartridge case attachment permits the projectile subassembly to pass a standard five foot drop test.

A non-rigid connection is made between a non-metallic, combustible, cylindrical cartridge case body having a centrallyapertured domed front end and a projectile or shell having a concave outer annular portion engaging the domed front end and a threaded central attachment plug extending through the case aperture, by means of a locking ring threaded onto the plug to clamp the front end against the projectile and a thin annular spring washer having its inner periphery interposed between the ring and the inner periphery of the front end and its outer periphery engaging the front end outwardly of the ring.

A detachable connection between a projectile and a propellantcharge case for cartridge-encased ammunition adapted to be fired from a gun barrel. The propellant-charge case is provided at the front end zone with at least one recess receiving a locking element radially displaceable between inner and outer end positions. The element in the outer end position projects outwardly of the propellant-charge case to an extent sufficient to prevent complete introduction of the propellant-charge case into the gun barrel and is supported in this position by a movable blocking member which is displaceable against the force of a spring toward the rear of the propellant-charge case. The projectile which is to be connected with the propellant-charge case is provided with a tail portion arranged for contacting the blocking member and to displace the blocking member toward the rear. The tail portion is also provided with a recess adapted to be engaged by the locking element upon displacement of the blocking member such that the locking element assumes the inner end position connecting the projectile and the propellant charge case and permitting introduction of the flush connection of the projectile and the propellant-charge case into the gun barrel for support therein.

A dimensional inspection device for a cartridge includes a measuring body defining a first free body end with a first reference surface, and a second free end with a locking surface. The measuring body defines a cavity including a hole for receiving a cartridge and defining a hole axis, a hole end opening facing the first reference surface, and an opposite hole end bottom. The measuring body includes a threaded through hole coaxial with the hole axis between the hole bottom and the second free body end. An adjusting screw engages the threaded hole so rotation of the screw displaces the second reference surface along the hole axis. A lock washer has a threaded washer hole engaged with the screw body outside the measuring body so upon rotation, the lock washer moves. The lock washer clamps against the measuring body, locking the adjusting screw.

An apparatus for selectively affecting a launch trajectory of a projectile from a canister includes means for selectively positioning the projectile with respect to the canister and a sabot operably associated with the projectile and the means for selectively positioning the projectile. A projectile launch system includes a canister, a projectile disposed in the canister, and means for selectively positioning the projectile with respect to the canister. A method for affecting a launch trajectory of a projectile includes providing a canister and a projectile disposed in the canister and adjusting a position of the projectile with respect to the canister.

A cartridge (1) is provided comprising a cartridge case (2) and a projectile arrangement (3; 3′) with an arrow projectile (5; 5′) with a sub-caliber control unit (7), wherein the projectile arrangement (3; 3′) is connected to the cartridge case (2) via a case cover (4), wherein, after firing of the projectile arrangement (3; 3′), a precise guiding of the arrow projectile (5; 5′) in the corresponding weapon barrel is ensured due to a receptacle device (28; 28′) that centers the control unit (7) of the arrow projectile (5; 5′), and that can be separated from the control unit (7) when the projectile arrangement (3; 3′) is fired. The receptacle device is connected to the case cover (4) on the projectile side, wherein the receptacle device grasps a ring-shaped rear flange (29; 29′) whose outer diameter corresponds to the projectile caliber of the respective cartridge (1).

A round, according to various aspects of the present invention, comprises an electrified projectile and a case. The projectile delivers a current through a target to incapacitate the target by causing skeletal muscle contractions. The case mechanically couples to a rear portion of the projectile to hold the projectile in the case.
