Abstract

A penetrator can substantially affect the fragmentation properties of a projectile. As a rule, the penetrator is enclosed by an envelope which combines the projectile core and penetrator in one unit. On hitting the target, a fragmentation of the projectile envelope must first occur which needs energy, influencing the further fragmentation of the projectile and the exit from the target. The invention thus relates to a hard-core projectile (1), with the penetrator (3) provided in a cylindrical drilling (4), in the projectile core (2), running centrally on the projectile axis (5), the length of the penetrator (3) extending over the middle (8) of the projectile, the core (2) enclosing the penetrator (3) in the ogival region (6) to the open tip (16) and the cylindrical part (7) of the core (2), serving as guide in operation, is enclosed by an envelope (9).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Hartkemgeschoss, bestehend aus einem Geschosskern, in den ein Penetrator eingesetzt ist, der stirnseitig aus dem Kern herausragt. Ein solches ist aus der DE197205 bekannt, welches die Ausgangslage für den Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bildet.The invention relates to a hard core projectile, consisting of a projectile core, in which a penetrator is inserted, which protrudes from the front side of the core. Such is from the DE197205 known, which forms the starting point for the preamble of claim 1.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Durchschlagsleistung, das Penetrationsvermögen, eines Hartkerngeschosses zu erhöhen.The object of the invention is to increase the breakdown power, the penetration capacity of a hard core projectile.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt mit Hilfe der kennzeichnenden Merkmale des ersten Anspruchs. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung werden in den Unteransprüchen beansprucht.The object is achieved by means of the characterizing features of the first claim. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are claimed in the subclaims.

Beim erfindungsgemäßen Hartkerngeschoss ist der Penetrator in eine zylindrische, zentrisch zur Geschossachse verlaufende Bohrung im Geschosskern eingesetzt. Der Penetrator reicht über die Mitte des Geschosses, über den ogivalen Bereich hinaus, in den zylindrischen Teil hinein. Der Penetrator kann die Bohrung vollständig ausfüllen. Der Geschosskern umschließt den Penetrator im ogivalen Teil bis auf die freiliegende Spitze, wobei die Wandstärke kontinuierlich bis auf Null abnimmt. Die Spitze des Penetrators liegt frei. Nur der der Führung im Lauf dienende zylindrische Teil des Geschosskerns wird von einem Mantel umschlossen.In the hard core projectile according to the invention, the penetrator is inserted into a cylindrical bore extending centrally in the projectile axis in the projectile core. The penetrator extends over the center of the projectile, beyond the ogival area, into the cylindrical part. The penetrator can fill the hole completely. The bullet core encloses the penetrator in the ogival part up to the exposed tip, whereby the wall thickness decreases continuously down to zero. The tip of the penetrator is exposed. Only the cylindrical part of the bullet core serving to guide the barrel is enclosed by a jacket.

Wenn das erfindungsgemäße Hartkerngeschoss im Zielkörper auftrifft, entfaltet der Penetrator sofort seine Wirkung. Die Energie, die bei einem den ogivalen Bereich umschließenden Mantel zur Verformung und Zerlegung des Mantels erforderlich wäre, steht bei diesem Geschoss voll dem Penetrator zur Verfügung. Der Penetrator besteht aus einem Werkstoff mit sehr hoher Dichte wie beispielsweise Wolframkarbid.When the hard core bullet according to the invention impinges in the target body, the penetrator immediately unfolds its effect. The energy that would be required for a coat enclosing the ogival area for deformation and disassembly of the shell is available on this bullet full of the penetrator. The penetrator is made of a very high density material such as tungsten carbide.

Beim weiteren Eindringen des Geschosses in den Zielkörper kann sich auch der Geschosskern in Abhängigkeit des verwendeten Werkstoffs verformen. Der Werkstoff des Geschosskerns besteht aus einem für Geschosse verwendbaren, vorzugsweise bleifreien Werkstoff wie gehärtetem oder nicht gehärtetem Stahl oder aus Nichteisenmetallen wie Kupfer und Messing oder deren Legierungen. Bei einem bleifreien Werkstoff, der die Umwelt weniger belastet, ist die Deformation vergleichsweise geringer als bei Blei, wodurch eine maximal mögliche Durchschlagskraft erreicht wird.Upon further penetration of the projectile in the target body and the bullet core can deform depending on the material used. The material of the projectile core consists of a usable for projectiles, preferably lead-free material such as hardened or non-hardened steel or non-ferrous metals such as copper and brass or their alloys. In a lead-free material that pollutes the environment less, the deformation is comparatively lower than lead, whereby a maximum possible impact force is achieved.

Die Befestigung des Penetrators im Geschosskern kann auf unterschiedliche Weise erfolgen. Einfach zu fertigen ist eine kraftschlüssige Verbindung wie beispielsweise eine Presspassung, bei der der Penetrator in den Kern eingepresst wird. Möglich ist aber auch eine stoffschlüssige Verbindung durch Löten oder Kleben oder eine formschlüssige Befestigung. Bei letzterer kann beispielsweise der Kernwerkstoff in eine oder mehrere Nuten im Penetrator eingedrückt werden. Die Befestigungsarten sollen bewirken, dass sich beim Eindringen des Geschosses in den Zielkörper das Geschoss möglichst nicht in Penetrator und Geschosskern zerlegt. Die Wirkung des Geschosses selbst sowie die Auswirkungen darauf hängen von der Härte des getroffenen Mediums ab. Bei einem weichen Medium bleibt das Geschoss erhalten. Kern und Penetrator trennen sich nicht. Bei einem harten Medium können sich Kern und Penetrator voneinander trennen, wobei der Penetrator dann den Ausschuß bildet.The attachment of the penetrator in the bullet core can be done in different ways. Easy to manufacture is a frictional connection such as a press fit, in which the penetrator is pressed into the core. But it is also possible a cohesive connection by soldering or gluing or a positive attachment. In the latter example, the core material can be pressed into one or more grooves in the penetrator. The attachment types are intended to ensure that the bullet does not disassemble into the penetrator and bullet core as the projectile penetrates into the target body. The effect of the projectile itself and the effects on it depend on the hardness of the medium hit. In a soft medium, the bullet remains. Core and penetrator do not separate. In a hard medium, the core and penetrator can separate from each other, the penetrator then forms the committee.

Reference to exemplary embodiments, the invention is explained in detail. Show it:
FIG. 1
a hard core projectile according to the invention with a penetrator, which is connected to the projectile core in a force-locking or materially cohesive manner,
FIG. 2
an inventive hard core projectile with a penetrator, in which the hard core ends with an annular surface at the tip of the penetrator,

In Figur 1 ist mit 1 ein erfindungsgemäßes Hartkerngeschoss im Längsschnitt dargestellt. Der Geschosskern 2 umschließt einen Penetrator 3, der in einer zylindrischen Bohrung 4 eingesetzt ist, die zentrisch zur Geschossachse 5 verläuft. Der Penetrator 3 reicht über den ogivalen Bereich 6 des Geschosses 1 in den zylindrischen Teil 7 hinein, der der Führung im Lauf dient und füllt im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel die Bohrung 4 vollständig aus. Die Befestigung mit dem Geschosskern kann im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel reibschlüssig durch eine Presspassung oder stoffschlüssig durch Löten oder Kleben erfolgt sein. Der ogivale Bereich 6 des Geschosses und damit auch der Penetrator 3 reichen über die Mitte 8 des Geschosses hinaus.In FIG. 1 1 shows a hard core projectile according to the invention in longitudinal section. The projectile core 2 encloses a penetrator 3, which is inserted in a cylindrical bore 4, which runs centrally to the projectile axis 5. The penetrator 3 extends over the ogival region 6 of the projectile 1 in the cylindrical part 7, which serves the guide in the barrel and fills in the present embodiment, the bore 4 completely. The attachment to the bullet core can be done in the present embodiment frictionally by an interference fit or cohesively by soldering or gluing. The ogivale area 6 of the projectile and thus also the penetrator 3 extend beyond the center 8 of the projectile.

Der zylindrische Teil 7 des Geschosses 1 wird von einem Mantel 9 umschlossen, der im Bereich des Bodens 10 der Bohrung 4 eine Einrillung 11 aufweist. Im Übergang vom ogivalen Bereich 6 zum zylindrischen Teil 7 des Geschosses 1 erstreckt sich auf dem Umfang des Geschosses 1 eine Nut 12, in die der Rand 13 des Mantels 9 so eingedrückt ist, dass er nicht über die Oberfläche des Geschosses übersteht. Dadurch wird das Abziehen des Geschossmantels verhindert, wenn das Geschoss auf ein Zielmedium auftrifft. Im Heck 14 des Geschosses 1 befindet sich eine konische Vertiefung 15, die die Flugeigenschaften des Geschosses durch Stabilisierung verbessert.The cylindrical part 7 of the projectile 1 is enclosed by a jacket 9, which has a groove 11 in the region of the bottom 10 of the bore 4. In the transition from the ogival region 6 to the cylindrical part 7 of the projectile 1 extends on the circumference of the projectile 1 a groove 12, in which the edge 13 of the shell 9 is pressed so that it does not project beyond the surface of the projectile. This prevents the bullet jacket from peeling off when the bullet hits a target medium. In the rear 14 of the projectile 1 is a conical recess 15, which improves the flight characteristics of the projectile by stabilization.

Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel reicht die kegelförmige Spitze 16 des Penetrators 3 aus dem Geschosskern 2 heraus. In diesem Bereich des Übergangs 17 verjüngt sich die Wandstärke des Kerns 2 gegen Null.In the present embodiment, the conical tip 16 of the penetrator 3 extends out of the projectile core 2. In this region of the transition 17, the wall thickness of the core 2 tapers to zero.

Das erfindungsgemäße Hartkerngeschoss nach Figur 2 unterscheidet sich vom vorhergehenden Ausführungsbeispiel durch die Gestaltung der Geschossspitze. Der Hartkern 2 weist am Übergang 17 von der Spitze 16 des Penetrators 3 in den zylindrischen Teil eine senkrecht zur Geschossachse 5 verlaufende schmale Ringfläche 18 auf. Beim Auftreffen auf ein hartes Zielmedium wird dadurch ein definiertes Lösen des Penetrators bewirkt.The hard core projectile according to the invention FIG. 2 differs from the previous embodiment by the design of the projectile nose. The hard core 2 has at the transition 17 from the top 16 of the penetrator 3 in the cylindrical part a perpendicular to the projectile axis 5 extending narrow Ring surface 18 on. When hitting a hard target medium thereby a defined release of the penetrator is effected.

Dem gleichen Zweck dient das Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 3. Bei diesem Geschoss dringt der Penetrator 3 bereits ins Zielmedium ein, bevor der Hartkern 2 mit seiner Ringfläche 19 auftrifft. In Verbindung mit der Art der Befestigung des Penetrators 3 in der Bohrung 4 kann dadurch die Trennung von Penetrator und Kern beeinflusst werden.The same purpose is served by the embodiment FIG. 3 , In this projectile, the penetrator 3 already penetrates into the target medium before the hard core 2 impinges with its annular surface 19. In conjunction with the manner of attachment of the penetrator 3 in the bore 4 can be influenced by the separation of penetrator and core.

In Figur 4 ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Hartkerngeschoss mit einer formschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen Penetrator und Geschosskern, ebenfalls im Schnitt, dargestellt. Alle mit dem vorhergehenden Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 übereinstimmenden Merkmale sind mit denselben Bezugsziffern bezeichnet. Der Penetrator 3 trägt im Übergangsbereich vom ogivalen Bereich 6 des Geschosses zum zylindrischen Teil 7 auf seinem Umfang eine Nut 18. Der Penetrator 3 wird zunächst in die Bohrung 4 hineingesteckt. Nach Überzug des Mantels 9 erfolgt eine gleichzeitige Befestigung des Mantels und des Penetrators 3, indem der Rand 13 des Mantels 9 in den Kern 2 und damit der Werkstoff des Kerns in die Nut 18 gedrückt wird. Abweichend vom vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel können auch noch weitere Nuten im Penetrator vorgesehen sein, in die der Werkstoff des Kerns eingedrückt werden kann. Denkbar wäre das an der Stelle einer Einrillung.In FIG. 4 is an inventive hard core projectile with a positive connection between the penetrator and projectile core, also shown in section. All with the previous embodiment after FIG. 1 matching features are designated by the same reference numerals. The penetrator 3 carries in the transition region from the ogival region 6 of the projectile to the cylindrical part 7 on its circumference a groove 18. The penetrator 3 is first inserted into the bore 4. After coating the jacket 9, a simultaneous attachment of the shell and the penetrator 3 by the edge 13 of the shell 9 is pressed into the core 2 and thus the material of the core in the groove 18. Notwithstanding the present embodiment, further grooves may be provided in the penetrator, in which the material of the core can be pressed. This would be conceivable at the point of a Einrillung.
