Definitions
- the invention relates to a non-fatal projectile (referred to in the literature "non lethal bullet” or “less lethal bullet”) for firing by means of a firearm, which projectile on the barrel of a firearm - especially a handgun - attachable and shootable by firing a common projectile wherein the projectile has a body whose interior contains a catching device for the projectile.
- non lethal bullet or “less lethal bullet”
- Such bullets are used for example by executive forces against persons. They should not inflict serious injury on those affected, but prevent them from committing criminal acts. Because situations requiring the use of such bullets can occur unexpectedly, such bullets must be fireable by firing a common projectile. This should also allow it, after firing of such a projectile gun immediately to use again for a shot with a common projectile.
- Such a non-fatal projectile is proposed in WO 01/1 1305. It consists of a mounted on the barrel hollow cylinder with a front fragile impact head, which can be filled with a liquid.
- the hollow cylinder is closed at the front by a projectile trap, which according to the description consists of a material which can not be penetrated by the projectile.
- the initial speed of the projectile is 1 0 percent slower than the running exit speed of the projectile.
- the solution consists in that a part of the projectile can be inserted into the mouth of the barrel, the projectile has a body whose interior contains a catching device for the projectile, which catching device consumes a considerable part of the kinetic energy of the projectile (strictly speaking: in Converts deformation energy and frictional heat) and converts only a fraction of them into kinetic energy of the non-fatal projectile.
- This ensures that a relatively light bullet is still with for the required range of sufficient speed can be fired without being deformed by the projectile or even destroyed.
- the attachment of the projectile in the mouth of the barrel has the advantage that the projectile can be fired by means of various weapons in comparison with the outside plugged on the barrel fasteners.
- the catching device consists of a plug and a catching piece, wherein the rear part of the plug is a plug which can be plugged into the mouth of the barrel, and the front part of the plug forms a cylinder cooperating with the catching piece.
- the plug performs two functions: First, it forms a co-operating with the catch friction surface, which may be sized and designed suitable for the purpose of energy destruction. Second, it is in the barrel and thus serves the attachment of the projectile in the mouth of the barrel.
- the front part of the plug is a hollow cylinder whose inner diameter is equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the pin.
- the hollow cylinder abuts an achsnormalen annular surface of the catching piece and forms because of its inner diameter at the transition to the rear pin of the plug a predetermined breaking point. When shearing the Hollow cylinder at the predetermined breaking point is consumed further kinetic energy of the projectile.
- the catching piece is a hollow cylinder, which has a centric, closed at its front and rear open blind hole.
- the catching piece is pressed into a just all front closed and rear open blind bore of the projectile body over only a portion of their length, so that the catching piece over the remaining part of the length of the blind bore is displaced by application of force.
- the diameter of the blind hole is equal to or smaller than the diameter of the pin.
- the plug consists of a ductile material (preferably a thermoplastic) and has at its rear end a central recess from which, starting from the pin of the plug under the action of the impinging projectile is deformed.
- the deformation of the plug consumes additional kinetic energy.
- the projectile impinging on the central recess penetrates completely into the journal and deforms it into a tubular structure. Because of the large deformed volume of the pin, a lot of energy is consumed.
- the lengths of catching piece, plug, blind hole and blind hole are chosen such that the heavy point of the projectile with the shifted and / or deformed parts and the projectile in its interior in free flight approximately in its geometric center and that the rear edge of the catching piece does not protrude beyond the contour of the body of the projectile. In the case of the spherical outer contour of the projectile, this is the center of the sphere.
- the spherical outer contour solves a secondary problem: Since a transfer of the swirl of the projectile on the projectile, if at all, takes place only to a very small extent, a spin stabilization of the projectile is not given. For the use of wings (see WO 01/1 1305), the airspeed is insufficient.
- a projectile of elongated shape would therefore "whine" in the air and could hit as a ricochet Thanks to the spherical outer contour of the projectile, and especially in central position of the center of gravity, the projectile can rotate in flight at will, so it is uncertain with which point of its outer contour Because the body of the projectile is surrounded by a soft mantle of, for example, foam or other soft material, it does not need to be spherical (which reduces its weight) and the mantle of soft material ensures that the mantle of the projectile does not need to be spherical Target person no lethal injuries occur.
- the existing example of plastic body may have circumferentially extending ribs. This also facilitates the production of the jacket by molding.
- the production of the body made of plastic has the further advantage that it can give way upon expansion of the catching piece by penetration of the projectile.
- the diameter of the spherical contour is larger is 4, preferably 5 cm, the bullet does not fit in the orbit of a target person, which prevents serious eye injuries. Furthermore, if it is ensured that the rear edge of the catching piece does not protrude beyond the contour of the body of the projectile, striking with the rear zone of the projectile can not cause any serious injuries.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through an embodiment of a
- Fig. 2 The same, in a second phase,
- Fig. 3 The same in a third phase.
- Fig. 1 the projectile according to the invention is denoted by 1 and any gun 2. Of the latter, only the front part of a carriage 3 and a barrel 4 can be seen, in which a projectile 5 is already underway. Fig. 1 thus also represents the first movement phase.
- the projectile 1 initially comprises a body 7 and a casing 8.
- the body 7 is made of a light metal or a solid plastic (for example a thermoplastic) and has ribs 9 extending in the circumferential direction. It is used to form the casing 8 surrounded by a soft foam.
- the body 7 has a longitudinally extending central blind bore 1 0, which forms a bottom 1 1 at its front end. As can be seen, the blind bore extends over most of the length of the body 7. At its rear, open, end, the blind bore 10 has an extension 13 which terminates at a first shoulder 12.
- the arranged inside the body safety device consists of a catching piece 15 and a plug 22.
- the catching piece 15 is a circular cylinder with a blind hole 1 7, which ends in front in a bottom 18.
- the outer diameter of the cylinder has to the inner diameter of the blind bore 1 0 an excess, so that it is displaced only by overcoming the considerable frictional resistance in the longitudinal direction.
- the catching piece 1 5 has an outwardly projecting collar 16 and a rearwardly projecting collar 20.
- the collar 20 has the same or a slightly larger inner diameter than the blind hole 1 7 and goes over a second shoulder 19 in this over ,
- the plug 22 is a pin 23, which transitions forward into a Hohlzy cylinder 24.
- the transition 25 represents an all-round predetermined breaking point.
- the pin 23 is in the barrel and thus keeps the projectile ⁇ ready.
- the pin 23 has at its rear end a central recess 26 at which the projectile strikes with the consequences to be described below.
- the plug 22 is made of a ductile material which may be metallic or preferably a suitable tough and strong plastic.
- a shot has already been fired, the projectile 5 is in the barrel 4 and moves towards the plug 22. It will immediately push the pin 23 out of the barrel (as far as that has not already done the air column in front of the projectile 5) and exert on the pin 23 a force that pushes him into the blind hole 17. Since the hollow cylinder 24 of the plug 22 is supported on the second shoulder 19 of the catching piece 15, pin 23 and the hollow cylinder 24 are separated from each other at the predetermined breaking point 25. Since the inner diameter of the hollow cylinder 24 is equal to or larger than the diameter of the pin 23, the separation is carried out by shearing. Already this kinetic energy of the projectile is consumed. In Fig.
- the sliding path 21 is in Fig. 2, the distance between the front end of the catching piece 15 and the bottom 1 1 of the blind hole 1 0. The same distance 21 prevails also between the collar 16 of the catching piece 15 and the first shoulder 12 of the body 7. Once the Catch piece has covered the sliding path 21, the projectile 5 begins to penetrate into the central recess 26 of the pin 23. This is the main purpose of the central recess 26.
