Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Munition bzw. Übungsmunition, insbesondere eine aus Handfeuerwaffen verschießbare Übungsmunition im vorzugsweise mittleren Kaliber, mit einem eine Geschosshülle aufweisenden Geschosskörper. Dieser enthält eine vorzugsweise in der Luft explodierbare Ladung und / oder Wirkladung.The invention relates to an ammunition or training ammunition, in particular a firing from small arms exercise ammunition in preferably medium caliber, with a bullet casing having projectile body. This contains a charge which is preferably exploitable in the air and / or active charge.

Bei Handfeuerwaffen, mit denen Übungsmunition mit mittlerem Kaliber verschießbar sind, handelt es sich beispielsweise um Panzerfäuste oder Gewehre mit entsprechenden Zusatzeinrichtungen zum Verschießen derartiger Munition. Alternativen sind beispielsweise 40 mm Granatwerfer.Handguns capable of launching medium caliber practice ammunition are, for example, bazookas or rifles with corresponding ancillary equipment for firing such ammunition. Alternatives are, for example, 40 mm grenade launcher.

Bei in der Luft explodierender Munition (üblicherweise auch als Air Burst Munition oder ABM bezeichnet) erfolgt eine Zerlegung des Geschosskörpers bereits vor dem Ziel, sodass im Bereich des jeweiligen Luftsprengpunktes eine Wolke von Splittern oder Submunition erzeugt wird. Für Übungszwecke wird die Air Burst Munition durch Munition ersetzt, bei der zur Markierung des Luftsprengpunktes eine Ladung zur Erzeugung eines Blitzes und gegebenenfalls auch eines Knalles gezündet wird. Allerdings ist der Luftsprengpunkt bei Verwendung bekannter Übungsmunition für den Schützen nur kurzzeitig und häufig relativ undeutlich sichtbar.In the case of ammunition exploding in the air (usually also referred to as air burst ammunition or ABM), the projectile body is already dismantled before the target so that a cloud of splinters or submunitions is generated in the region of the respective airborne explosive point. For practice purposes, the ammunition is replaced by ammunition, in which a charge for generating a lightning and possibly also a blast is ignited to mark the air blasting point. However, when using known training ammunition for the shooter the air spike is only briefly and often relatively indistinctly visible.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe und das Ziel zugrunde, insbesondere eine Übungsmunition der eingangs erwähnten Art anzugeben, bei der eine Markierung des Luftsprengpunktes oder, falls gewünscht, eine Markierung eines Aufschlagpunktes des Geschosskörpers auf ein Ziel, über einen gegenüber bekannter Übungsmunition längeren Zeitraum deutlich sichtbar ist.The invention has for its object and object to provide in particular a training ammunition of the type mentioned, in which a mark the Luftsprengpunktes or, if desired, a mark of a point of impact of the projectile body on a target, over a longer period of time compared to known practice ammunition is clearly visible ,

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere, besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Further, particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention disclose the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung beruht im Wesentlichen auf dem Gedanken, zur Markierung des Luftsprengpunktes einen vorzugsweise farbigen Markierstoff zu verwenden. Diese sollte der dann bevorzugt langsam zum Boden niedersinken können und / oder auch auf dem Aufschlagpunkt länger sichtbar sein.The invention is based essentially on the idea to use a preferably colored marker for marking the air blasting point. This should then preferably can sink slowly to the ground and / or be longer visible on the impact point.

Bekannt sind bereits Markierungspatronen beispielsweise aus der EP 1 735 582 B1 , die den Aufschlagpunkt markieren. Eine weitere patronierte Übungsmunition mit Markierungsaufgabe ist der DE 10 2004 017 464 A1 entnehmbar. Nach Aufschlag derartiger Munitionen wird ein Markierungsgemisch freigesetzt, das beispielsweise einen Nebel im sichtbaren oder auch nicht sichtbaren Bereich erzeugt, eine Farbmarkierung bewirkt oder am Aufschlagpunkt eine Wärmebild schafft ( WO 2011/011217 A1 , WO 2011/019695 A1 ). Die DE 10 2007 034 546 A1 beschäftigt sich mit einer Zielmarkierungsmunition, deren im Ogivenbereich befindliche Behälter einen Markierungsstoff beinhaltet. Damit der Markierungsstoff nach Aufschlag der Munition austreten kann, wird ein Überdruck erzeugt, beispielsweise durch eine Gaskartusche mit Auslösemechanismus. Eine weitere Munition zur Farbmarkierung beschreibt die EP 0 890 819 A . Dieser sind diverse Markierungsgemische entnehmbar. Aus der DE 30 31 369 C3 ist zudem ein Geschosskörper bekannt, welcher eine in der Luft explodierende Ladung aufweist.Marking cartridges are already known for example from the EP 1 735 582 B1 that mark the point of impact. Another patronized training ammunition with marking task is the DE 10 2004 017 464 A1 removable. After the impact of such ammunition, a marking mixture is released which, for example, produces a fog in the visible or non-visible region, causes a color marking or creates a thermal image at the point of impact ( WO 2011/011217 A1 . WO 2011/019695 A1 ). The DE 10 2007 034 546 A1 deals with a target ammunition whose container located in the Ogivenbereich includes a marker. In order for the marker to escape after impact of the ammunition, overpressure is generated, for example by a gas cartridge with trigger mechanism. Another ammo for color marking describes the EP 0 890 819 A , These are various marker mixtures removable. From the DE 30 31 369 C3 In addition, a projectile body is known which has a charge exploding in the air.

Um eine Markierung in der Luft zu realisieren, umfasst die Geschosshülle des Geschosskörpers einen zentral angeordneten zylinderförmigen Block mit einem eine Ladung enthaltenden zentralen Ladungsraum. Der zylinderförmige Block weist mindestens eine sich von dem Ladungsraum radial bis zu dem äußeren Umfang des Blockes erstreckende Druckentlastungsbohrung auf, vorzugsweise jedoch mehrere. Diese sind über den Umfang gleichmäßig verteilt angeordnet und erstrecken sich radial nach außen. Der äußere Umfang des zylinderförmigen Blockes ist vorzugsweise ringförmig von einem Behälter mit einem Markierstoff umgeben. Nach Zündung der Ladung zerlegt der über die Entlastungsbohrung auf den Markierstoff-Behälter wirkende Gasdruck diesen sowie die sich außenseitig an den Markierstoff-Behälter anschließende Geschosshülle. Dadurch wird der Markierstoff aus dem Geschosskörper ausgebracht. Der Behälter kann auch durch mehrere umfangsseitig in Längsrichtung des Blockes gesehen untereiander oder übereinander angebrachte Teilbehältern bestehen, die dann auch unterschiedliche Markierungsstoffe enthalten können.In order to realize a marking in the air, the projectile casing of the projectile body comprises a centrally arranged cylindrical block with a central cargo space containing a charge. The cylindrical block has at least one pressure relief bore extending radially from the charge space to the outer periphery of the block, but preferably a plurality. These are arranged distributed uniformly over the circumference and extend radially outward. The outer periphery of the cylindrical block is preferably annularly surrounded by a container with a marker. Upon ignition of the charge, the gas pressure acting on the marker container via the relief bore breaks it apart, as well as the projectile envelope which adjoins the marker container on the outside. As a result, the marker is discharged from the projectile body. The container can also be seen by several circumferentially in the longitudinal direction of the block as opposed to each other or stacked sub-containers, which can then also contain different markers.

Vorzugsweise wird die Ladung der Munition derart gewählt, dass zusätzlich zu dem Ausbringen des Markierstoffes bei Erreichen des Luftsprengpunktes auch ein Knall und/oder ein Blitz erzeugt werden kann. Damit wird eine visuelle, als auch akustische Signatur des Luftsprengpunktes insbesondere für schultergeschossene Waffen im Airburst geschaffen.Preferably, the charge of the ammunition is chosen such that in addition to the application of the marker upon reaching the Lufttsprengpunktes a bang and / or a flash can be generated. Thus, a visual, as well as acoustic signature of the air blasting point is created especially for shoulder-level weapons in Airburst.

Vorzugsweise besteht der zylinderförmige Block aus einem Material wie Kunststoff, da er sich in diesem Fall besonders leicht und kostengünstig (etwa als Spritzgussteil) herstellen lässt. Allerdings sollte es sich um ein Material bzw. um einen Kunststoff handeln, der bei der Explosion der Ladung nicht selbst zerstört wird, damit der Markierstoff definiert aus dem Geschoßkörper ausgebracht werden kann. Um ein homogenes Ausbringen des Markierungsstoffes zu erreichen, kann es ferner vorteilhaft sein, wenn die der Geschosshülle zugewandte Außenwand des Markierstoff-Behälters, und gegebenenfalls auch die Geschosshülle, mit Sollbruchstellen versehen ist (sind).Preferably, the cylindrical block consists of a material such as plastic, since it can be produced in this case particularly easily and inexpensively (for example as an injection molded part). However, it should be a material or a plastic, which is not destroyed in the explosion of the charge itself, so that the marker defined from the projectile body can be applied. In order to achieve a homogeneous spreading of the marking substance, it may also be advantageous if the outer shell of the marking material container facing the projectile casing, and possibly also the projectile casing, is provided with predetermined breaking points.

Um also zu erreichen, dass die Markierung eines Luftsprengpunktes -oder falls gewünscht, eines Aufschlagpunktes des Geschosskörpers auf ein Ziel- über einen längeren Zeitraum deutlich sichtbar ist, wird zur Markierung des Luftsprengpunktes oder des Aufschlagpunktes ein Markierstoff verwendet, der einen zentral angeordneten zylinderförmigen Block mit einer Ladung enthält. Der zylinderförmige Block weist dafür mindestens eine sich vom Ladungsraum radial bis zu dem äußeren Umfang des zylinderförmigen Blockes erstreckende Druckentlastungsbohrung auf. Nach Zündung der Ladung wirkt ein Gasdruck über die Druckentlastungsbohrung(en) auf den Markierstoff-Behälter, wodurch die sich außenseitig an den Markierstoff-Behälter anschließende Geschosshülle zerlegt und der Markierstoff dadurch aus dem Geschosskörper ausbringbar ist. Die Menge des ausbringbaren Markierstoffs ist einerseits durch den Querschnitt der Druckentlastungsbohrungen einstellbar bzw. beeinflussbar. Andererseits beeinflusst auch die Menge des Markierstoffs die Zeitdauer.Thus, to achieve that the marking of an air strike point-or if desired, a point of impact of the projectile body on a target over a longer period is clearly visible, a marker is used to mark the air strike point or the impact point, which has a centrally arranged cylindrical block contains a charge. For this purpose, the cylindrical block has at least one pressure relief bore extending radially from the charge space to the outer circumference of the cylindrical block. After the charge has been ignited, a gas pressure acts via the pressure relief bore (s) on the marker container, as a result of which the projectile envelope which adjoins the marker container on the outside is disassembled and the marker can thereby be brought out of the projectile body. The amount of ausbringbaren marker is on the one hand adjustable or influenced by the cross section of the pressure relief holes. On the other hand, the amount of the marker also affects the duration.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus dem folgenden, anhand einer Figur erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiel. In der Figur ist schematisch der Längsschnitt einer erfindungsgemäßen (Übungs-) Munition 1 dargestellt, bei der es sich beispielsweise um eine aus einem Granatwerfer verschießbare 40 mm (Übungs-) Granate handelt. Die Munition 1 umfasst einen Geschosskörper 2 mit Geschosshülle 3, die durch gestrichelte Linien angedeutet sind. Die Geschosshülle 3 umfasst ferner einen zentral angeordneten zylinderförmigen Block 4 aus bevorzugt Kunststoff. Dieser beinhaltet einen eine Ladung 5 aufnehmenden zentralen Ladungsraum 6. Bei der Ladung 6 kann es sich um eine Knall-Blitz-Ladung handeln. Die Ladung 5 ist über einen Kanal 7 von einer nicht dargestellten Zündladung zündbar. Außerdem weist der zylinderförmige Block 4 eine, vorzugsweise jedoch mehrere, über den Umfang gleichmäßig verteilt angeordnete, sich von dem Ladungsraum 6 radial nach außen erstreckende Druckentlastungsbohrungen 8 auf. Der äußere Umfang des zylinderförmigen Blockes 4 ist ringförmig von einem Behälter 9 aus bevorzugt Kunststoff umgeben, der einen Markierstoff 10 enthält. Die der Geschosshülle 3 zugewandte Außenwand 11 des Markierstoff-Behälters 9 ist zudem bevorzugt mit sich in Richtung der Längsachse 100 der Munition 1 erstreckenden Sollbruchstellen versehen (nicht weiter dargestellt).Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following, explained with reference to a figure embodiment. In the figure, the longitudinal section of an inventive (training) ammunition 1 is shown schematically, which is, for example, a shootable from a grenade 40 mm (practice) grenade. The ammunition 1 comprises a projectile body 2 with projectile casing 3, which are indicated by dashed lines. The projectile casing 3 further comprises a centrally arranged cylindrical block 4 of preferably plastic. This includes a one charge 5 The charge 6 can be a bang-flash charge. The charge 5 is ignited via a channel 7 by a primer, not shown. In addition, the cylindrical block 4 has one, but preferably a plurality of evenly distributed over the circumference distributed, extending from the charge space 6 radially outwardly extending pressure relief holes 8. The outer circumference of the cylindrical block 4 is annularly surrounded by a container 9 preferably made of plastic, which contains a marker 10. The projectile casing 3 facing outer wall 11 of the marker container 9 is also preferably provided with in the direction of the longitudinal axis 100 of the ammunition 1 extending predetermined breaking points (not shown).

Vor oder bei dem Abschießen der Übungsmunition 1 wird ein bodenseitig in der Munition 1 angeordneter Zeitzünder (nicht dargestellt) derart programmiert, dass die Ladung 5 bereits in der Luft, also (weit) vor einem Auftreffen des Geschosskörpers 2 auf einem Ziel gezündet wird. Der dadurch in den Druckentlastungsbohrungen 8 entstehende Druck sorgt dafür, dass der Markierstoff-Behälter 9 (in der Luft) bricht und die Geschosshülle 3 reißt. Dadurch wird der Markierstoff 10 nach außen geschleudert und der Luftsprengpunkt für den nicht näher dargestellten Schützen deutlich sichtbar. Gleichzeitig kann der entsprechende Schütze ein durch die Ladung 5 verursachtes Lichtsignal (Blitz) und kurz darauf ein akustisches Signal (Knall) wahrnehmen, wenn die Ladung 5 diese Wirkmittel enthält. Sind Sollbruchstellen eingebunden, erfolgt das Brechen des Behälters 9 und / oder der Geschosshülle 3 entlang der Sollbruchstellen. Soll hingegen eher der Aufschlagpunkt der Munition 1 länger markiert und auch länger sichtbar sein, ist es vorgesehen, dass die Zündung der Ladung 5 kurz vor dem Auftreffen erfolgt. Die Funktionsweise ist dann ebenfalls wie beschrieben.Before or during the launching of the training ammunition 1, a time fuse (not shown) arranged in the ammunition 1 on the bottom side is programmed such that the charge 5 is already ignited in the air, ie (far) before the projectile body 2 strikes a target. The resulting pressure in the pressure relief holes 8 ensures that the marker container 9 (in the air) breaks and the projectile casing 3 ruptures. As a result, the marker 10 is thrown outward and the air snap point for the shooter not shown clearly visible. At the same time, the corresponding contactor can perceive a light signal (lightning) caused by the charge 5 and shortly thereafter an acoustic signal (bang) if the charge 5 contains these active agents. If predetermined breaking points are involved, the breakage of the container 9 and / or the projectile casing 3 takes place along the predetermined breaking points. If, on the other hand, the point of impact of the ammunition 1 is to be marked longer and also visible for a longer time, it is provided that the ignition of the charge 5 takes place shortly before impact. The functionality is then as described.

Nicht näher dargestellt aber leicht vorstellbar ist die Möglichkeit, mehrere Behälter in Richtung der Längsache 100 gesehen umfangsseitig anzuordnen. Diese können dann auch unterschiedliche Markierungsstoffe (Farben etc.) beinhalten. Dabei ist sicherzustellen, dass der jeweilige Behälter mit wenigstens einer der Druckentlastungsbohrungen 8 zusammenspielt.Not shown in detail but easily conceivable is the possibility to arrange several containers in the direction of the longitudinal axis 100 seen circumferentially. These can then contain different markers (colors etc.). It must be ensured that the respective container interacts with at least one of the pressure relief bores 8.

Die Erfindung ist zudem selbstverständlich nicht auf das vorstehend beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. So kann es sich bei der Übungsmunition statt um Granatwerfer-Munition auch um aus anderen Waffen verschießbare Munition handeln.Of course, the invention is of course not limited to the embodiment described above. For example, the training ammunition can be ammunition made from other weapons instead of grenade launcher ammunition.
