Description

The proposed technical solution relates to means of simulating military operations in the process of training and training troops, as well as paramilitary paintball games and is a throwing device, mainly underbarrel type.

Paintball arose about 20 years ago in the USA and is now widely developed also in France, England, Australia, Germany, and the Scandinavian countries; In total, paintball is played in 104 countries. There is an established system of game rules, norms and safety measures, numerous tournaments and championships are held, up to the World Cup.

According to American insurance companies, as a result of tough and consistent application of security measures, paintball is less dangerous than football, tennis or golf. Traditionally, people over 18 years old or from 10-12 years old are allowed to play with the written permission of their parents (in accordance with local law). Today in the world there are hundreds of adults and dozens of children’s teams, the Russian Union of Scouts and some private schools use paintball as sports training. Training paintball use specials. units of power structures, security companies. Recently, so-called tactical paintball and large scenario games, gathering more than 1000 people at the same time, are gaining more and more popularity among players.

Tactical paintball, unlike sports, is held at various venues: forest (therefore, tactical paintball is sometimes called "forest"), field, partially built-up, inside buildings and structures. There are two areas of tactical paintball, differing from each other in "goals and objectives": training and leisure.

The training area is used by employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, special services, security companies, etc. for practicing with the help of paintball skills of possession of weapons and actions in an environment close to real conditions. In training paintball, sometimes imitation markers are used that are inferior to sporting ones in rate of fire and the quantity of ammunition, but imitate and / or copy military weapons.

The leisure area is exactly that paintball, which is more of an entertaining nature and does not pursue any special goals.

Adherents of tactical paintball are usually not professional soldiers. However, most of the "tactics" that have taken place partly use the uniforms and equipment of the army or special services. Tactics also involves the use of paintball "special equipment" - grenades, smoke screens, grenade launchers and mortars, minefields. In particular, "under-barrel grenade launchers" were widely used as an auxiliary weapon.

As cartridges for them, special cartridges made of metal and outwardly resembling real-life ammunition are used.

These cartridges are filled with compressed air and are equipped with paint balls. At the time of the shot, the cartridge remains in place, and only the balls themselves fly out of the barrel.

This type of barrel-mounted devices are manufactured by MAD BULL AIRSOFT (www.madbullairsoft.com) - a manufacturer of grenade launchers, cartridges and other equipment for airguns.

Thus, "under the barrel grenade launcher", in fact, being just a shotgun or shrapnel maker, does not fulfill the tasks of its immediate purpose and only remotely imitates the real one.

To date, on the world market for equipment for military sports games, not a single variant of throwing ammunition for such weapons has been presented. And there are several reasons for this:

- Security.

All trials of throwing grenades, conducted at the moment by manufacturers, were based on a cardboard case of a grenade, various head fairings of materials from molded cardboard to polyethylene, a curb weight of 50-60 grams, and a complete absence of a flight stabilization mechanism ( trunks of industrially manufactured grenade launchers for games do not have rifling or other devices for twisting shells).

To achieve the required flight range (50-70 meters), such a projectile should have an initial velocity of at least 55 m / s, while the muzzle energy will be at least 80 J, and the specific energy should be 0.11 ... 0.15 J / mm ² (with the area of the midsection of the head fairing 650 ... 750 mm ² ).

With such characteristics - at short distances (up to 20 meters), the grenade will pose a threat to the players, and, in addition, under current law will move from the category of toys to weapons.

- Reliable initiation of pyrotechnic charge.

The main way to initiate a moderator today - the use of an additional charge of “exhaust ignition” (the principle of the New Year's cracker) - is unreliable (during a shot, the cord caught on the protruding parts of the mortar sometimes simply breaks, and sometimes breaks loose, not having time to ignite.

Based on the foregoing, most manufacturers, found this direction unpromising, and practically stopped developing in this direction.

The objective of the proposed technical solution was the development of a projectile device and projectile to the maximum possible degree simulating, in particular, under-barrel weapons used in combat conditions.

The proposed pyrotechnic imitating product is intended primarily for use in paintball (paintball), airsoft

(airsoft) and other military sports games, as a throwing device and a projectile for industrially produced models of grenade launchers for pneumatic and electro-pneumatic weapons used in the above games.

This product is a throwing device with a projectile, driven by compressed air, and designed to visually and audibly simulate explosions, smoke, as well as simulate the defeat of manpower, in the ways provided for by the rules of the game (Figure 3).

The throwing device for simulating military operations consists of the throwing device body (1) directly, the threaded barrel (2) articulated with it, designed to accommodate the projectile, the throwing device housing comprising a top cover (3) with o-rings (4) , a valve (5) with ball clamps (6), a stopper (7) and a return spring (8), a gas tank (9) with a filling valve (10).

The projectile consists of a main body (11), an inertial-type initiating device (12) integrated in it, a head fairing (13), an ignitor (14) with a pyrotechnic moderator (15), a projectile (16) equipped with a safety spring (17), moreover, the main body, the housing of the initiating device and the head fairing are made of safety material.

Mostly the main body of the projectile, the housing of the initiating device and the head fairing are made of polyurethane foam, extruded polystyrene foam or other foamed polymer having a closed-cell structure and density from 40 to 120 kg / m ³ .

The surface of the shell of the shell has a circumferential inclined in relation to the axis of the projectile notches to ensure rotation during movement.

The head fairing gives the projectile an aerodynamic shape and is the main energy-absorbing element that ensures safety in the event of a shot being accidentally hit by players. The density of the material of the head fairing is 40 ... 70 kg / m ³ .

The housing of the initiating device is made of material with a density of 80 ... 100 kg / m ³ . It contains elements of an inertial-type initiating device and an igniter of a pyrotechnic charge.

The main body. It contains a pyrotechnic charge corresponding to the purpose of the entire product. The density of the material is 100 ... 120 kg / m ³ . On the main body, screw notches are made around the circumference to ensure gyroscopic stability of the projectile in flight.

Principle of operation.

In the running state, compressed gas occupies the volume of the reservoir (9), while the gas acts on the valve (5) in an effort to shift it toward the bottom. Ball retainers (6) prevent this movement of the valve, held in turn by the stopper (7) (Figure 1).

When a force is applied to the stopper (7), it moves upwards and releases the ball clamps (6), and the valve (5), under the influence of compressed gas, moves toward the bottom, giving gas access to the guide shaft (2), where the gas expands pushes the projectile out of the barrel.

After firing, the valve, ball clamps and stopper under the influence of the return spring (8) return to their original position, and after the next gas refueling through the fueling valve (10) and the installation of a new projectile, the device is ready for reuse.

Initiation of a pyrotechnic composition.

In the free state, the hammer (16) under the influence of the safety spring (17) is located in the upper part of the housing (12).

At the time of the shot, the entire projectile, including the igniter (14), begins to move towards the hammer (16), which, in turn, having no rigid connection with the body and having sufficient mass, overcomes the resistance of the soft safety spring (17), while remaining in the original the point from which the igniter (14) impinges on the hammer (16) and the pyrotechnic moderator (15) ignites.

Pyrotechnic compositions (charges).

Depending on the scope, conditionally charges can be divided into three types (Figure 3):

1. Light noise 2. Smoke 3. With conditionally striking elements (balls with paint)

Mass g 29th Mass g 43 Mass g 37 Initial speed, m / s 41 Initial speed, m / s 34 Initial speed, m / s 36 Maximum flight range (at an angle of 30 °), m 75 Maximum flight range (at an angle of 30 °), m 60 Maximum flight range (at an angle of 30 °), m 65 Muzzle energy, J 24 Muzzle energy, J 25 Muzzle energy, J 24 Specific Energy, J / mm ² 0,03 Specific Energy, J / mm ² 0,031 Specific Energy, J / mm ² 0,03

The proposed throwing device and projectile allow the most complete imitation of hostilities, in particular with the use of under-barrel weapons, with the achievement of good ballistic results with a high degree of security.
