Definitions
- the invention relates to a small caliber bullet and a small caliber ammunition with such a small caliber bullet, which are characterized by a low pollution.
- a low pollutant is a cartridge if it has at least one lead and barium-free primer cap and if the bullet has a covered lead tail.
- the core materials are non-metallic materials such as plastic.
- Other materials of the core may be copper, tin, zinc, iron, tungsten, titanium, etc.
- the jacket on the other hand, consists of the usual sheathing materials such as steel, tombac-plated steel, tombac (copper-zinc alloy) or copper.
- a hunting rifle bullet with additionally encapsulated core designates DE 100 45 009 A1.
- the core is enclosed in addition to the outer shell of another coat, the core sheath.
- the core is thereby completely enclosed.
- the core is made of a toxic material such as lead.
- a cartridge for handguns with a provided with a primer cap and a propellant charge containing cartridge case and with a bullet inserted into the neck of the cartridge case is disclosed in DE 197 10 1 13 A1, the projectile a coat, a having disposed in the shell hard core and a core holding the shell carrier.
- DE 29510977 U1 is concerned with a projectile for cartridges for guns with a curved barrel, comprising a core, which represents the main mass of the projectile, and a shell, which is applied to the outside of the core and at least partially covered, wherein the Shell is completely covered with a tin layer of a predetermined thickness both from the outside and to the core.
- An improved bullet of small caliber with a certain armor-piercing property is shown in DE 697 13 760 T2.
- the bullet consists of a thin metallic material as a sheath and a bullet core made of solid material enclosed therein, such as hard metal, heavy metal, etc.
- a ballast material, which fills the rearmost part of the bullet jacket, consists of a lead alloy.
- Solid projectiles i. Bullets made of a solid copper-based alloy have a greater length compared to lead due to the specific weight, in order to achieve a total intended weight.
- the disadvantage is that this results in insufficient stabilization on the trajectory due to the twist introduced in the gun barrel. This leads to a low extra-ballistic stability of such projectiles. For a good stability shorter twist lengths would be necessary, which can not be realized with already introduced weapons.
- the invention has the object to show a small caliber bullet, which is low in pollutants, can be produced inexpensively and does not have the aforementioned disadvantages.
- a projectile according to the invention compensates for the low density of the copper-based alloy compared to lead due to a higher density of the cemented carbide penetrator.
- an extension of the projectile, as described above, omitted, the projectile have a consistent overall length as previous floors.
- the internal, external and target ballistic requirements can be met, with the advantage of increased penetration performance against semi-hard targets.
- This construction creates a low-emission projectile and thus a low-emission cartridge with increased penetration power over existing concepts.
- the structure of the projectile results from the combination of low-emission, specific light solid bullet with a fully enclosed penetrator with a specific higher density than the core. Thus, a solid projectile with a hard core is depicted.
- the projectile is made of preferably two semi-finished products (projectile body, penetrator).
- a bullet body of a copper-based alloy (brass, Tobak, bronze) is produced.
- the preparation can be made from extrusion-pressable blanks.
- the projectile body is oversized on the outside and is pressed into the trains and fields of the weapon barrel during the shot.
- the projectile body has a blind hole, in the front of the dimensionally matched hard core (penetrator) can be used. In other words, the dimensions of the blind bore and of the penetrator are matched to one another.
- the hard core is a predominantly cylindrical tungsten carbide component with a tip at the front end. In the bottom of the hard core blank grooves are pressed, which lead to firing to a toothing with the projectile body. As a result, the transmission of the twist of a gun barrel is securely transmitted to the hard core.
- the hard core is preferably used in the projectile body.
- the projectile body provided with the inserted hard core can then be supplied, for example, to a rotary swaging machine and the projectile body or its material tapers in the front region, so that it flows around the hard core to the front.
- the result is a full storey with fully enclosed hard core.
- the insertable penetrator achieves increased penetration performance against semi-hard targets without exhibiting deformation when shelling soft targets.
- the bullet can thereby universal (multi purpose) against soft as well as semi-hard targets be used.
- This idea can now also be applied to bullets in the caliber range from 4.6mmx30 to 12.7mmx99, but this caliber range is not restrictive. It proposes a small caliber projectile, which is designed as a solid (mass) of copper-based alloy with a hard metal core.
- copper-base alloys include additives such as zinc and tin in variable alloy fractions, which leads to the designation brass, tombac or bronze.
- Brass is one of the best-known copper alloys.
- the brass alloys, whether cast or wrought alloys have in common that their main constituents are the metals copper and zinc, to which, depending on the required property, further alloying metals are added in smaller proportions.
- Tombak brass types are referred to with> 67% copper, with bronze alloys with at least 60% copper unless they are assigned by the main alloying additive zinc the brass rings.
- the small caliber bullet In this solid copper base alloy, a penetrator made of hard metal is incorporated, i. stored. The penetrator is completely enclosed by this copper-based alloy. If desired, the surface of the small caliber bullet may be provided with a thin finish, at least in part.
- This small caliber bullet forms the basis of a low-emission small-caliber ammunition. In order for even the small-caliber ammunition itself to be low in pollutants, the small-caliber ammunition has, for example, a lead-free and barium-free primer cap, which is arranged in the bottom of a propellant charge shell accommodating the small caliber bullet and a propellant charge.
- the advantages of the AP projectile are that it is inexpensive to produce and consists of only two parts. It is realized a favorable center of gravity and good stability on the trajectory. On soft targets splintering is avoided, achieved in hard targets high penetration.
- FIG. 4 shows a finished projectile according to a first embodiment with two blind bores
- FIG. 5 shows a finished projectile according to a second embodiment with a blind borehole
- 1 shows a projectile body 1 with at least one blind bore 3, 4.
- FIG. 2 shows a hard core or a penetrator 2. This is inserted into the at least one blind hole 2, for example inserted (FIG. 3).
- the projectile body 1 is preferably made of a copper-based alloy
- the penetrator 2 is preferably made of a hard metal.
- the copper-base alloys include brass, tombak or bronze.
- the penetrator 2 is inserted or inserted into the at least one blind bore 3 of the projectile body 1. In this case, a supernatant 1 .1 of the projectile body 1 remains out of reach with the penetrator. 2
- the supernatant 1 .1 is preferably round-kneaded continuously around the penetrator 2 until this supernatant 1 .1 has now completely enclosed the penetrator 2 by the preferred copper-based alloy of the projectile body 1 in the front region 1 .1 '.
- the penetrator or the hard metal core 2 is completely enclosed on all sides after incorporation of the bullet body material.
- the projectile body 1 and the penetrator 2 now form a projectile 10 (FIGS. 4, 5).
- FIG. 5 shows a variant of a small caliber projectile 10 ', which is designed as a solid (mass), a projectile body 1' of preferably copper-based alloy with a hard metal core 2 '.
- the projectile body 1 ' has only one blind hole 3' here.
- the small-caliber unit has, for example, a lead-free and barium-free primer cap which is arranged in the bottom of a propellant charge shell accommodating the small caliber bullet 10, 10 'and a propellant charge (not shown in more detail).
- a lead-free and barium-free primer cap which is arranged in the bottom of a propellant charge shell accommodating the small caliber bullet 10, 10 'and a propellant charge (not shown in more detail).
- the small caliber bullet 10, 10 ' can be aligned to the fight of soft as well as hard targets.
