Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multiple-effect projectile without a conventional rocket, in particular a projectile making it possible to achieve three forms of damage to a target, namely: a piercing effect, a fragmentation effect and an incendiary effect.
  • Projectiles of this type comprising, placed in front of an explosive charge, an incendiary charge, the combustion speed of which determines the delay between the ignition of this incendiary charge at the time of the percussion of the target and the ignition of the explosive charge , thus causing the fragmentation effect and the incendiary effect after the penetration of the projectile into the target.
  • the various incendiary and explosive charges are housed in relatively thin envelopes and partially surrounding a heavy metal core placed in the rear part of the projectile.
  • a disadvantage of this embodiment is its limited fragmentation effect because of the small amount of metal, forming the fragments, which surrounds the explosive charge.
  • the explosive charge is in a more resistant body, which ensures good fragmentation behind the pierced armor.
  • the disadvantage of this embodiment is however that the shape of the projectile is such that the penetration capacity is rather poor.
  • the main object of the invention is a projectile eliminating the above drawbacks, this projectile ensuring an incendiary and fragmentation effect after penetration, i.e. behind the target, for both light and heavier targets.
  • Said projectile is substantially constituted by a hollow perforating body 1 preferably made of hardened steel, surrounded by an envelope 2, for example of brass, closed at the rear by means of a closing plumb 3.
  • Said body 1 extends over almost the entire length of the projectile.
  • This body 1 is crossed by a borehole longitudinal 4.
  • this borehole 4 has a portion 5 of larger diameter in order to form a housing for the plug 6, while the other end of said borehole 4 has a portion 7 of reduced diameter in order to 'Obtain that the front mass of the body 1 is as large as possible so as to achieve a considerable penetration element.
  • the latter is provided with a chamfer so as to obtain a pointed element 8.
  • the projectile is completed by a delay pyrotechnic charge 9 and a rear incendiary charge 10 between which an explosive charge 11 is trapped.
  • Said body 1 has a length slightly less than the total length of the envelope 2 in order to form at the front of said body a chamber comprising a part of said delay pyrotechnic charge 9, the other part of which is engaged in said body 1.
  • the body Upon impact of the projectile according to the invention, the body 1, by its pointed shape, ensures its penetration into and through the target.
  • the delay pyrotechnic charge 9 is initiated by the heating generated by the crushing of the tip of the envelope 2.
  • the delay thus obtained is sufficient for the ignition of the explosive charge 11 to take place only after the total penetration of the projectile through the target.
  • the detonation of this charge 11 ensures the fragmentation of the body 1 of the projectile behind or in the target.
  • the envelope 2 is only provided on a certain part of the body 1.
  • the envelope 2 is constituted by parts 12 and 13 fixed in any manner on the ends of said body 1.
  • FIG. 3 represents an embodiment according to which the body 1 is provided with a hollow pointed element 8 so as to improve the attachment of said body to inclined targets.
  • FIG. 4 represents a projectile according to the invention of the type provided with a forcing belt 14.
  • the part 12 of said envelope becomes superfluous.
  • FIG. 5 represents a variant in which the explosive charge 11 is also provided in part 7 of the longitudinal borehole 4.
