Abstract

573,914. Projectiles. JANECEK, F. K. Aug. 6, 1943, No. 12760. [Class 9 (i)] An armour-piercing projectile comprises a central core 10 of hard, tough material (e.g. tungsten carbide), a ballistic cap 12, a tailpiece 14, and a jacket 15, the inwardly-flanged ends 16, 17 of which are forced into annular grooves in the cap and tail-piece, respectively to unite the whole. In the form shown, the core has a casing 11 of high-tensile steel (e.g. gun-barrel steel), and between the front ends of the core and casing interior a cushion 18 of light alloy is provided. The cap 12 may be of light alloy or of a plastic and the tail-piece of steel. The mouth of the cartridge case is spun into a groove 26 formed by the conicallyflanged end of the tail-piece, and tracer composition may be located in a socket 21 in the tail-piece.
