Abstract

1299287 Tracer projectiles WERKZEUGMASCHINENFABRIK OERLIKON BUHRLE AG 24 July 1970 [5 Aug 1969] 35909/70 Heading F3A A tracer projectile comprises a shell 7 held in a recess 5 by means of a ring 9 which urges conical surfaces 6 and 8 into contact with one another and also maintains radial clearances 5a and 5b. When the projectile is fired, the propellant gases burst through a disc 13 to ignite the tracer charges contained in the shell 7. Some of the propellant gases also pass through radial slots 10 in ring 9, and into the recess 5b to equalize the propellant gas pressure inside and outside the end of the shell 7. This prevents the end of the shell being expanded and the tracer charges being undesirably ejected.
