Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Appl' 883313 A series of substantially identical subprojectiles are secured together to form a projectile assembly with 52 us. 131 ..102/92.4, 102/38 the subprojectiles in intimate engagement to substan- 51 1111. C1 ..F42b 11/02 tially eliminate voids and trapped volumes between 58 Field of Search ..102/38, 93, 83, 94, 92.4 adjacent subpwjectiles or between the projectile sembly and the gun barrel.
  • the projectile assembly is [56] References Cited secured in a cartridge case to form a cartridge for use in a squeezebore firearm barrel, wherein the projectile UNITED STATES PATENTS assembly separates to form a salvo of separated subprojectiles.
  • This invention generally relates to ammunition for firearms of the squeezebore type and is particularly directed to the provision of improved squeezebore ammunition wherein the firing of a single round produces a salvo of separated subprojectiles.
  • squeezebore guns are known in the art and are generally characterized by a gun barrel whose bore is larger in diameter at its breech end than at its muzzle end; such barrels may be rifled or smooth with various taper forms.
  • ammunition for use in such firearms is known and has utilized projectiles of various forms including the projectiles of the aforementioned Robinson patent, which introduced the concept of forming a projectile assembly from a plurality of specially formed subprojectiles, each subprojectile cooperating with its adjacent subprojectile to form a sealed cavity with the side wall of the tapered barrel bore to effect separation of the subprojectiles while the assembly travels the length of the barrel.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view partially broken away of a standard machine gun barrel modified to include a squeezebore portion at the muzzle end;
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of a salvo squeezebore cartridge of this invention partially broken away to show details of the cartridge case;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross section view taken along the lines of 33 of FIG. 2 and showing details of the projectile assembly
  • Flfi. 4 is a cross section generally taken along the lines of 4-4 of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 6 is an enlarged partial cross section view of that portion of the projectile that is identified by the lines of 5-5 of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 6 is a schematic cross section view of a typical arrangement of subprojectiles exiting from the squeezebore section of the gun barrel of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 7 is a cross section view of an alternative embodiment of a projectile assembly
  • FIG. 8 is an alternative embodiment of the projectile assembly using modified subprojectiles
  • FIG. 9 is a cross section view of a subprojectile of the assembly of FIG. 8 after firing
  • FIG. 10 is a partial cross section view of still another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 11 is a cross section view of a single subprojectile of the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 10 after firing.
  • the barrel designated 10 is comprised of a standard barrel section 11 of reduced length and a squeezebore barrel section 12 which are secured together by barrel nut 13.
  • barrel section ll can be considered to be part of a standard .50 caliber barrel, the muzzle end of which has been removed to accommodate the squeezebore section 12.
  • the entrance caliber 14 of squeezebore barrel section 12 is .50 caliber which diameter tapers uniformally to point 15 in the barrel at which point the final desired caliber, in this case .30 caliber, is provided with a substantially straight barrel from point 15 to muzzle end 16.
  • a standard .50 caliber cartridge case 21 is utilized having a conventional primer 22 and a standard propellant powder load 23.
  • the projectile assembly generally designated 25 may be selected to have a mass substantially equal to the mass of a standard .50 caliber projectile, a preferred embodiment of the projectile assembly of the present invention being shown in enlarged cross sectional view in FIG. 3.
  • Salvo squeezebore projectile assembly 25 is seen to include five substantially identical, generally conically shaped subprojectiles 26, each of which is provided with a conical recess 26a in its trailing surface arranged coaxial with and having the same included apex angle as the conical leading surface 26b.
  • each subprojectile is a shell-like structure having a conical outer surface and coaxial conical inner surface such that leading surface 28 of each projectile is in intimate engagement with trailing surface 29 of each preceding subprojectile over substantially the full length thereof.
  • the outer diameter of the outer trailing edge of each subprojectile in the preferred embodiment is provided with a diameter D of substantially .50 caliber and is also provided with a plurality of grooves 30 extending longitudinally over the flat portion 31 of each subprojectile.
  • a plastic sleeve 32 embracing the forward section of the lead projectile 33 and running continuously along the assembly to embrace the trailing surface 35 of the last projectile; the grooves 30 function to assist the flow of plastic during the jacketing operation to insure a longitudinally continuous structure and are believed to assist in transmitting the spin velocity caused by the standard barrel rifling to the projectile assembly.
  • An annular groove 40 is provided in the plastic jacket to facilitate structural assembly of the projectile assembly into the cartridge case by providing a recess into which the lip of the cartridge case is crimped. Because the plastic performs no function in subprojectile separation, its selection is not critical although nylon has been found to be effective.
  • each subprojectile is reduced from the initial .50 caliber to the final .30 caliber diameter; it is therefore essential that at least the trailing skirt portion which is generally designated 45 be formed from a deformable or frangible material to accommodate such a reduction in diameter.
  • at least the trailing skirt portion which is generally designated 45 be formed from a deformable or frangible material to accommodate such a reduction in diameter.
  • subprojectiles formed from copper throughout provide the desired deformability and avoidance of excess wear on the barrel squeezebore while being effective as projectile.
  • other materials can be used depending upon desired subprojectile purpose.
  • the squeezebore portion of the barrel functions much the same as the squeezebore barrel of the aforementioned Robinson patent in that the subprojectiles are reduced in outer diameter, become somewhat elongated, and are separated so that five discrete spaced subprojectiles exit from the muzzle end 16 of the barrel.
  • the specific mechanics of the separation of the subprojectiles of the present invention while not being fully understood are believed to be such that the surfaces 28 and 29 of each subprojectile are caused to slide relative to each other by the compressive force of the tapered barrel portion, there being no trapped volume to contain a fluid or auxiliary inter subprojectile propellant.
  • the included angle of the tapered recess (and the taper of the nose portion) must therefore be selected to preclude a wedging action and frictional welding between adjacent subprojectiles; it has been found in the preferred embodiment that an included angle of approximately 30 is eminently suitable. Because of the sliding movement between the adjacent abutting conical surfaces of the subprojectiles, it has been found useful to provide (as schematically illustrated in FIG. 5) a thin lubricant film 41, which lubricant can be a plated coating, a conventional soap film, an oxide film or other lubricant disposed in a thin layer to assist the separation of the subprojectiles and to preclude a frictional welding between subprojectiles which might jam the weapon. As seen in FIG.
  • each subprojectile remains substantially unchanged as the trailing portion B is successively reduced in diameter by the squeezebore of the barrel with the onset of separation of the projectiles occurring during travel through the squeezebore portion of the barrel so that the resulting projectiles are well separated and each has the general configuration of a hollow .30 caliber bullet.
  • the projectile assembly 60 is substantially identical to that of FIG. 3 including a plastic sleeve 61 to hold the assembly together, the plurality of subprojectiles 62, and the groove in the sleeve 63 to facilitate crimping of the cartridge case.
  • the final subprojectile 66 is comprised of a body 67 to which is secured a deformable or frangible skirt to create an external appearance similar to that of the preceding subprojectile.
  • the manner of securing the skirt 68 to the body 67 is not essential to the invention nor is the specific material utilized to form the skirt since it is merely desired to achieve a propellant gas seal while being deformable or frangible during passage through the squeezebore portion of the barrel.
  • the body 67 is however selected from a material and conically configured at its leading edge to insure its separation from the preceding subprojectile while providing a hollow cavity 70 in which, for example, a tracer mixture can be carried to be ignited by the propellant mixture.
  • Such a constructural combination can also be used to accommodate an armor piercing subprojectile whose body would have a fixed diameter while being provided with a skirt to provide the desired gas seal.
  • a frangible plastic mass would be suitable.
  • a subprojectile having a configuration identical with the preceding copper subprojectiles but being formed of a different substance, as for example of mild steel rather than copper, can also be used as part of the projectile assembly.
  • FIG. 7 there is shown in dotted lines 79 an integral extension of plastic jacket 61 extending forward along the leading subprojectile. While length and shape of such projection is not critical, such a plastic mass has been found useful in maintaining the orientation of the first subprojectile coaxial with the barrel during travel therethrough.
  • FIG. 8 To more fully describe the substantial variety of alternative subprojectile configurations that can be utilized within the present invention concept, the embodiment of FIG. 8 has been provided wherein trailing surfaces 80a of each subprojectile 80 fully engages the leading surface 81 of the succeeding subprojectile so that the resultant projectile assembly is one of a pointed nose with a continuous body.
  • Such subprojectiles can be held together as desired as, for example with a light film of oil or wax, and have been successfully fired from a barrel of the type shown in FIG. 1 to achieve substantially the same subprojectile separation as obtained with the embodiment of FIG. 3 and with a configuration of the resultant subprojectile as being shown in FIG. 9.
  • FIG. 10 Another embodiment of subprojectile configuration is shown in FIG. 10.
  • Each subprojectile 90 has a conical nose 91 portion with a cylindrical trailing portion 92; a conical recess 93 is provided to accept the nose portion of the succeeding projectile.
  • a heat shrinkable plastic tubing 95 extending from the front cylindrical edge 96 to the rear cylindrical edge 97 provides integral packaging such that firing from the barrel of FIG. 1 produces projectile separation as in the preceding embodiment; the resultant subprojectile cross section after firing being substantial as shown in FIG. 1 1.
  • a projectile assembly for use in squeezebore firearms comprising a plurality of subprojectiles arranged in coaxial relationship with the lead portion of one of said subprojectiles being received in an inwardly tapered recess formed in the preceding subprojectile of the assembly, the side wall of the recess in the preceding projectile being in intimate engagement with the outer side wall of the lead portion of said one subprojectile throughout substantially the full axial length of the recess, at least the outer radial extremity of said subprojectiles being capable of being reduced in diameter by the squeezebore of the firearm at least the rearmost subprojectile being imperforate with its outer radial extremity engageable with the side walls of the bore of the firearm barrel whereby the propulsion force is exerted on said rearmost projectile thereby to push the projectile assembly down the barrel of the firearm.
  • each of said subprojectiles is generally of conical shape and is provided with a conical recess for receiving the next subprojectile.
  • a projectile assembly for use in squeezebore firearms comprising a plurality of identical subprojectiles arranged in coaxial relationship each of said subprojectiles having a recess formed in its trailing surface that is complementary in shape to its leading surface and means securing each of said subprojectiles to each adjacent subprojectile with the lead surface of each of said subprojectile in intimate engagement with the side walls of the recess of the preceding subprojectile throughout substantially the full axial length of the recess at least the rearmost subprojectile being imperforate with its outer radial extremity engageable with the side walls of the bore of the firearm barrel whereby the propulsion force is exerted on said rearmost projectile thereby to push the projectile assembly down the barrel of the firearm.
  • a cartridge for firearms or the like comprising a projectile assembly including a plurality of subprojectiles secured together in nested relationship by a plastic sleeve embracing each subprojectile, a circumferential groove formed in said plastic sleeve and a cartridge case surrounding at least a portion of the projectile assembly and deformed into the groove in said sleeve to secure the projectile assembly to the case at least the rearmost subprojectile being imperforate with its outer radial extremity engageable with the side walls of the bore of the firearm barrel whereby the propulsion force is exerted on said rearmost projectile thereby to push the projectile assembly down the barrel of the firearm.
