摘要:
A cartridge arrangement having propellant therein and a rocket assisted projectile for firing therefrom by ignition of propellant in the cartridge case, the rocket assisted projectile having an annular securing skirt rearward of a nozzle block and surrounding rifling band, with spaced pressure equalizing vent openings in the securing skirt for pressure equalization relief during debulleting of the projectile from the cartridge case or casing.
摘要:
A projectile including a penetrating member and a pyrotechnic composition, such as an incendiary composition. The composition is located ahead of the head portion of the penetrating member and is surrounded by a ballistic hood. The projectile includes a solid insert of a pyrophorically acting metal or an alloy containing such a metal. In order to increase the effect of the projectile, the pyrometal insert is located in a recess provided in the head portion of the penetrating member. Furthermore, arranged in a rearward extension of the recess and immediately behind the pyrometal insert is, additionally, an explosive material insert adapted to be detonated at impact against a target.
摘要:
An improved inertial armor-piercing penetrator projectile wherein the axial length of the projectile is a relatively large multiple of its diameter. The projectile includes a pre-penetrator and a main penetrator with a nose and a tail. The forward portion of the main penetrator is operatively connected to the tail of the pre-penetrator. The pre-penetrator comprises a plurality of partial cores which are axially arranged one behind the other and are operatively connected to each other at mutual coupling regions so as to form a stack. The stack of partial cores includes centering and/or fixing means which may take various forms and can be selectively exchanged. The cover and the centering and/or fixing means are adapted to achieve a predetermined fracturing or separation upon the application of a predetermined load. Thus, the centering and/or fixing means include a weakened portion where the fracturing or separation occurs.The construction and arrangement of the partial cores is such that each partial core differs from the adjacent partial core with respect to dimensions and/or material so that a front partial core will sufficiently disintegrate upon impact prior to the next following partial core reaching the target.

A copper jacketed explosive bullet for penetrating light armor, the bullet having a tubular hard heavy metal body filled with explosive and having an igniting mixture within the jacket forward of the explosive and a lightweight pyrophoric metal base plug for added burn time for increased fire starting ability.

Disclosed is a spear having an elongated rod to penetrate hard targets. The spear is delivered either from the air or the ground and is accelerated by a rocket motor to achieve the required impact velocity, for penetration.
摘要:
An armor piercing bullet is made by first forcing a hard metal core into a sleeve-shaped filler and embedding the core therein. Thereafter the filler and the core are forced, as one unit, into a soft metal bullet jacket. In this way a very good centering of the core within the bullet is obtained, which is necessary for stabilising the bullet in its trajectory. Furthermore, the forces exerted on a quantity of incendiary material which may be located in the jacket''s tip are limited in this way so that the risk of spontaneous combustion of this material is decreased.

An undercalibrated projectile has its core covered by a cap of plastic extending with a cylindrical portion into a sabot which is connected by an automatically releasable coupling with the rear end of the core of the projectile. The coupling comprises an annular helical spring placed around a core formed by a spring ring and this spring combination engages lockingly an annular groove on the rear end of the core of the projectile and also engages tensionally an annular groove in the inner wall of the sabot; the last named annular groove having a cross section which is much larger than the cross section of the annular helical spring and an inner diameter which is greater than the outer diameter of the annular helical spring.
摘要:
The ammunition comprises an armour-piercing shell whose body is constituted of a material which is basically a metal that oxidizes easily and that burns by heating. An axial passage is provided, in the body of the shell thus constituted, extending from the front end of the shell to a nozzle formed in the rear end of the shell. Ignition means are provided for causing, in the initial phase of the flight of the shell, the inflammation of the inner wall of the axial passage which, from that moment, behaves like a ramjet playing the role of an auxiliary propeller for the shell.
摘要:
The projectiles possess high kinetic energy owing to the high velocity of the projectiles, on the one hand, and the high specific weight of the projectiles, on the other hand. The heretofore normally employed explosive and incendiary charges are replaced by an inert powder serving as the projectile filling or filler and having a density of at least 10 g/cm.sup.3 and whose constituents have a mass of 10.sup.-4 to 10.sup.-2 grams. Certain constructions of the projectiles contain a fragmentation jacket, the filling or filler, a closure body or penetrator and a projectile tip. Another construction of the projectile contains a fragmentation jacket, the filling or filler, an integrated base for the fragmentation jacket and the projectile tip.
