Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a core for a projectile according to claim 1, and a partial separation projectile or decomposition projectile.
  • US 5,894,645 is a relevant document of the prior art.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method for producing a core for a projectile, with which the decomposition behavior of the projectile can be adjusted in a simple way.
  • the core should be lead-free.
  • this object is characterized in that one or more wires or wire sections are pressed from a lead-free material to a void-free core, wherein the wires or wire sections inside or on the outside diameter have one or more geometric shapes and / or targeted breaking points in the core during pressing be introduced.
  • the decomposition behavior can be adjusted. For justification, see below. the core (1) pressed separately to a void-free core and then anchored in the projectile (2, 2a, 2b) or used directly as a wire section in the projectile casing (5) and in the projectile casing (5) to a void-free core (1) is pressed ,
  • the core can be pressed separately to a void-free core and then anchored in the projectile or directly as a wire section in the projectile jacket be used and pressed in a bullet jacket to a void-free core.
  • a pressing punch is used for pressing, which is structured on its pressing side.
  • the structures are designed so that they create predetermined breaking points in the core.
  • the structuring preferably consists of needles which penetrate into the core during pressing and thereby create the predetermined breaking points.
  • the cutting ability is adjusted. It depends on how far the needles penetrate during pressing into the core. If the needles completely protrude through the core during compression, then the decomposition behavior with respect to these needles is maximal, i. 100%. Due to the number of penetrating needles can be adjusted, which volume or which parts of the core are provided with predetermined breaking points.
  • the wires or wire sections in the interior slots or holes and / or introduced from outside slots on the outer wire diameter create the predetermined breaking points during pressing.
  • An inventive projectile or partial decomposition projectile with at least one core with predetermined breaking points produced by the method described above, is characterized in that the projectile in addition to the core with predetermined breaking points at least one solid core, i. a core of solid material without predetermined breaking points, wherein the core is arranged with predetermined breaking points in front of or behind the massive core (partial separation projectile) or in the projectile only cores with predetermined breaking points are arranged next to or behind each other (fragmentation projectile).
  • the collapsible core in the projectile is traversed with predetermined breaking points.
  • the core may have the predetermined breaking points with respect to its longitudinal direction in axial, radial or a combination of the two. Preferably, between 1 and 100 predetermined breaking points may be in the core, axially, radially or both together.
  • the predetermined breaking points in the core ensure a defined disassembly upon impact and determine the size of the individual parts (splinters). It applies here: few predetermined breaking points - large individual parts, many predetermined breaking points - small items.
  • the core is produced by pressing or pressing a wire or individual wire sections.
  • the continuous wire or wire section is made of a Pb-free material, e.g. Sn, Zn, etc., which can be pressed into a void-free core at a pressing force of preferably 1-6 t.
  • a Pb-free material e.g. Sn, Zn, etc.
  • the introduced geometric shapes may be mounted inside or outside the diameter of the wire.
  • the molds may be mounted axially, radially or both together.
  • the Pb-free compressible material used for the core consists of an endless wire or wire section with introduced geometric shapes in axial and / or radial direction.
  • the geometric shapes may be internal or external or both mounted together on the wire.
  • the wire is pressed separately to a void-free core and then anchored in the projectile or used directly as a wire section in the bullet and pressed in the projectile to a void-free core.
  • the pressing pressure depends on the hardness of the core sheath and is preferably between 1.0 and 6 tons.
  • the dismantling of a bullet in the target body determines the energy output of the projectile and thus the effect of the shot.
  • a different decomposition may be required than in strong game. It can be both a sectionmantel- as well as a fully decomposable shell projectile, whose bullet core consists of a collapsible core.
  • As a material for a collapsible core all Pb-free materials are suitable, for. Sn, Zn, which can be pressed into a void-free core.
  • the pressed bullet core with predetermined breaking points held by the projectile casing breaks up with the bullet casing on impact in the target body.
  • the predetermined breaking points in the core the energy output and thus the size of the resulting in its disassembly items. Larger parts penetrate deeper into the medium and cause a deeper penetrating destruction channel in the tissue than a comparable number of smaller parts.
  • the size of the individual parts is controlled by the number of predetermined breaking points, a few predetermined breaking points - large individual parts, many predetermined breaking points - small individual parts with the same core weight and geometry.
  • the decomposition behavior of a projectile with a collapsible Pb-free core is improved.
  • An inventive subdivision projectile has a solid core, ie a core of solid material without predetermined breaking points in the rear or in the projectile, comparable to the projectiles from the WO 01/20244 A1 or from the WO 01/20245 A1 are known, and a second core, which is traversed with predetermined breaking points and which lies in front of or behind the massive core.
  • the solid core and the core with predetermined breaking points can consist of different, bullet-proof materials, but in the design of the cores, the optimal center of gravity in terms of ballistics must be ensured.
  • the deboning bullet has only the core traversed with predetermined breaking points or several cores with predetermined breaking points next to or arranged one behind the other in the mantle. The number of individual parts and size depends on the desired energy release and depth effect in the game.
  • the predetermined breaking points in the core are advantageous.
  • the predetermined breaking points extend in the axial or radial direction and lie within the geometry of the core.
  • the dismantling of the projectile is influenced by the number and position of the predetermined breaking points in the core.
  • the described structure of the bullet core is suitable for all types of bullets that are teilzerlegbar or dismantled. Due to the shown design possibilities a core of a projectile is to be produced, which is tuned to the respective intended use and which achieves an optimal effect at each impact speed due to its coordinated decomposition behavior.
  • FIG. 1 are present in the core 1 predetermined breaking points 4 arranged in the axial direction, these are formed by pressing the wire with the introduced forms.
  • FIG. 2 as FIG. 1 but with radial predetermined breaking points 4th
  • FIG. 3 as FIG. 1 However, with axial and radial predetermined breaking points. 4
  • FIG. 4 a partial jacket floor or partial separation projectile 2a is shown.
  • a solid core 8 was used from a suitable material for a bullet core.
  • a core 1 with predetermined breaking points 4 was pressed.
  • Suitable materials are all Pb-free (lead-free) compressible materials.
  • the projectile jacket 5 was pulled onto the illustrated projectile shape. The projectile casing 5 is not closed in the projectile bows.
  • the compressed core 1 When shot, after opening the bullet jacket, the compressed core 1 decomposes with the predetermined breaking points 4 in its individual parts and gives the desired energy to the game from. Through the pressed core 1 you have from shot to shot at the same caliber bullet weight, speed and shooting distance always the same energy release in venison. In this type of bullet one is also speed independent because the compressed core 1 decomposes at high or low impact velocity.
  • the size ratios of the two cores 1, 8 depend on the desired shock effect and depth effect in the game.
  • FIG. 2 Disassembly floor
  • the core is in one piece and the floor is completely disassembled.
  • FIG. 3 is comparable to that of FIG. 2 , The difference is that the bullet core consists of several cores with crossed predetermined breaking points 4 one above the other. The advantage is that the divided entire core 1 is broken down into smaller parts.
  • FIG. 5 a mantle projectile is shown, in which a single core 1 with predetermined breaking points 4 is arranged.
  • FIG. 6 a mantle projectile is shown, in which three cores 1 with predetermined breaking points 4 are arranged. It's like in FIG. 5 no solid core without predetermined breaking points arranged in the projectile.
  • FIGS. 7 a to 7 c are shown in cross-section different endless wires or wire section 12 with introduced geometric shapes.
  • Figure 7a shows nine molded holes or channels 9. All holes or channels 9 have the same diameter, wherein a central hole or a central channel 9 of eight holes or channels 9 is surrounded.
  • FIG. 7b shows four molded slots 7 and
  • FIG. 7c shows eight slots 10 on the outer wire diameter 11.
  • the dismantling of a bullet in the target body determines the energy output of the projectile and thus the effect of the shot.
  • a pressed bullet core made of Pb-free material held by the projectile casing, traversed with predetermined breaking points disassembled with the projectile casing on impact in the target body.
