Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a small caliber ammunition according to the preamble of the claim.
  • Ball made of impact-resistant plastic is used. In particular, this floor should not form any secondary floors.
  • Such a bullet intended for small-caliber ammunition which detaches from the base body in the target, is difficult to detect in a person hit, since even if metals are added to the plastic, there is only a small cross section for X-rays. It is therefore possible, particularly in the area of bones, for such a ball detached from the base body to be used with high resolution. X-ray devices remain undetected and lead to lasting, permanent disorders in the organism.
  • Another disadvantage is the two-part design of the projectile with different materials, which, on the one hand, results in manufacturing problems and, on the other hand, due to the limited ballistic final energy, the energy deposition required by police circles of almost 60 J / cm with 9 mm ammunition, at a target distance of 5 m, measured in so-called ballistic soap, can not provide.
  • the projectile should be adaptable to the conditions for a police operation and have a high level of reliability and precision.
  • the projectile should be able to be produced rationally and, in particular, not require any complex turned parts.
  • the tight fit mentioned in the patent claim is selected such that the inner cylindrical part is non-positively held in a forward position in the base body over its entire length over the entire ballistic trajectory, or that this is already shifted to a rear position by the launch acceleration and herewith its rear end face contacts the base body.
  • the subject of the invention results in a minimal risk to the environment in spite of high penetration performance against hard targets.
  • the floor deformation i.e. the mushrooming takes place in a targeted manner and its effect is predictable; the energy release in biological material is controlled.
  • the appearance of the floor is one
  • the air space between the base body and the jacket core used acts like a dynamic spring on impact with a soft target (ballistic soap); the deformation occurs only in the frontal area of the base body, the jacket core pushed back into the rear annular space itself absorbs almost no deformation energy.
  • the deformation is initiated by the above-mentioned translation, so that the front area of the base body protruding thereby becomes relatively easily deformable and, in the case of hard targets, bulges, ie widened, in the sense of flanging on both sides. In the case of softer targets, bulging takes place with a frontal cross-sectional enlargement.
  • This type of compacting of the two parts prevents disassembly even in very hard targets. It is unexpected that, as tests show, upstream materials such as clothing fabrics etc. do not adversely affect the floor deformation.
  • Another advantage is the resulting low mechanical stress on the weapon; the compressibility, in particular the rear part of the projectile, reduces wear during the barrel, so that projectiles according to the invention are also very suitable for practice ammunition.
  • Another positive factor here is that the entire projectile body consists of a single, easily recyclable material and can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner from target areas.
  • the manufacturing method according to claim 6 is particularly efficient and enables rational production in large series.
  • the identical choice of material for the base body and the jacket core is not only favorable in terms of production technology; the materials also have the same thermal expansion, so that once assembled, parts have the same tension.
  • An outer annular groove on the front also creates a space in the base body for partially accommodating the core of the jacket that is compressed in the target.
  • an additional deformation area can be created in the jacket core, in which an outer annular groove is provided there.
  • the jacket core can be made conical in relation to the bore by one To achieve a tight fit with an adapted effect.
  • the bore can be conical with respect to the jacket core.
  • the production of the two parts, the base body and the jacket core, is particularly efficient through the use of deep-drawing processes known per se.
  • a further increase in performance is possible in the production by using flat strip material which is fed to the respective punch press via a roll.
  • a precise joining of the two parts takes place via a form stamp, which presses the jacket core into the base body in a form-fitting manner.
  • FIG. 1 shows a projectile according to the invention, in a sectional view for a pistol ammunition, 2 shows a first variant of the projectile, with an effect analogous to that according to FIG. 1,
  • Fig. 6 is a cup produced by deep drawing, as a preliminary stage to form a base body
  • Fig. 7 shows another bowl, as a preliminary stage for forming a jacket core.
  • a cylindrical base body is designated by 1 in FIG. This base body is pressed into the sleeve 10 of a cartridge for a pistol ammunition in a notoriously known manner.
  • the casing body 1 there is an additional body, in the form of a casing core 2, which forms the projectile tip with it without transition.
  • a casing core 2 In the lower area of this floor there is an annular disk-shaped annular space 3a which, together with the blind hole 3b located above it, forms a closed air space in the casing core 2.
  • S the center of gravity of the projectile is also entered by a circle symbol, which is denoted by S.
  • the end face 2 ′′ of the jacket core 2 which is distanced from the base 4 of the base body 1, is displaced translationally when the projectile hits the target and strikes the base 4. This makes the projectile tip deformable in a targeted manner; it mushrooms and simultaneously encloses the tip of the Sheath core 2 with a flange at the edge.
  • the riveting of the two parts gives the projectile high mechanical strength; it behaves like a full-body bullet on a hard target, without having its disadvantages.
  • the deformation of the projectile can be predetermined within wide limits by means and measures known per se, in particular the hardness and ductility of the Materials, as well as corresponding dimensions of the projectile parts.
  • the variant according to FIG. 2 has a higher mass compared to the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the deformation in the target only causes mushrooming, the peripheral annular space 3c making this easier.
  • the cavity 3a has approximately the same volume as in FIG. 1, but with a smaller diameter, so that the axial displacement path for the jacket core 2 is longer.
  • the two-story floor is shown in its components in FIGS. 3a and 3b, before assembly.
  • the length L of the cylindrical part of the jacket core 2 is shown, which is in any case shorter than the corresponding recess in the base body 1.
  • the diameters of the parts of the base body 1 and the casing core 2 to be pushed into one another are matched to one another in the manner of a so-called press fit (tight fit), a taper of 0.06 mm facilitating assembly at room temperature and nevertheless in the event of a temperature gradient between the parts thereof Cohesion is guaranteed across the entire ballistic trajectory and at the target.
  • 4 and 5 are based on the same principle.
  • the two storeys have a center of gravity S which is displaced from the front or rear of FIG. 1.
  • the storey according to FIG. 4 has a thinner wall than FIG. 1 and is therefore easier to deform. it has a lower rebound behavior.
  • Ductile tombac (commercially available brass alloy from Trier Walzwerke GmbH, D-54296 Trier) has proven itself to be particularly useful in the form of strip material.
  • a bowl 100 of the type shown in FIG. 6 was first made from circular disks (rondelles) for the base body 1 and a bowl 200 according to FIG. 7 for the jacket core.
  • the subject of the invention is intended for small-caliber bullets (up to 0.5 "in diameter) and was realized for this purpose, but it can also be adapted in the same or analogous form for larger bullets.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un projectile de petit calibre en deux parties, en laiton rouge, qui comprend un corps de base (1) dans la cavité duquel est inséré en partie un noyau-coiffe (2). Selon l'ajustement retenu, le noyau-coiffe (2) se déplace au moment où le projectile est lancé ou lorsque la cible est atteinte, de manière que la zone de transition côté avant, entre les deux parties, soit dégagée et sorte en champignon pour s'appliquer vers l'intérieur sur le noyau-coiffe (2) et le fixer. Ce qui permet d'obtenir une déformation ciblée qui induit une grande retombée d'énergie, sans risque de fragmentation ou de ricochets. Ce projectile peut être produit de manière très économique.
