Definitions

  • the invention relates to practice ammunition including a marking agent.
  • the practice ammunition comprises a head with a chamber containing a marking agent, preferably a powder with a reddish color.
  • a marking agent preferably a powder with a reddish color.
  • the head is made of a material which when striking a target will burst and release the colored powder.
  • the powder is scattered within some radius about the impact site, thus marking the latter optically.
  • the colored powder is visible only under conditions of sufficient brightness; under low light or at night it will not be visible unless powerful night viewing equipment is used.
  • the U.S. Pat. No. 5,018,450 discloses a practice projectile in which the marking agent is contained in a burstable hood at the head of the practice projectile.
  • the marking agent has chemical components contained in separate frangible compartments which are mixed and react chemically as the compartments burst when the practice projectile strikes its target, this chemical reaction causing the optical marking to be produced.
  • a practice projectile of this kind will make its impact visible at night as well.
  • German Patent Publication No. DE-AS 11 99 660 discloses a practice projectile to be fired from a barrel-type weapon and also having a marking agent comprising chemical components contained in a plurality of separate frangible compartments. In this projectile, these compartments are designed to burst when the projectile leaves the muzzle. This will cause the practice projectile to come apart and to eject from the muzzle of the barrel a mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke visible from a great distance. The firing of live ammunition will thus be simulated in a more realistic manner.
  • compartments for the chemical components which are adapted to be broken up by the initial acceleration forces and/or the centrifugal forces applied to the projectile when it is fired, and by providing a hood, surrounding the compartments, which is formed of optically transparent material to enable the trajectory of the practice projectile to be tracked.
  • the compartments containing the chemical components are broken up as early as in the initial and/or the twist acceleration phases.
  • the compartments are individually contained in a hood made of an optically transparent material and located at the head of the practice projectile. On impact, the hood will burst and release the marking agent to identify the impact side.
  • the optically transparent hood enables the marking—such as the chemoluminescent effect of the chemically reacting components—to be perceived along the entire trajectory of the practice projectile.
  • the chemical components are selected to produce a sustained luminous effect lasting for an extended period of time, enabling the practice projectile to be optically tracked along its entire trajectory, and additionally to mark the impact site.
  • the duration of the chemical reaction, as well as the frequency and the brightness of the emitted light, may be adjusted within broad ranges by properly selecting the chemically reactive components.
  • the reaction preferably produces sustained luminous effects so that the trajectory of the practice ammunition may be optically tracked, and so that the impact site will be marked.
  • the present invention preferably uses starting materials which, when chemically reacted, emit light in the visible or infrared ranges. If emitted in the infrared range, the marking light may be observed with night viewing equipment.
  • Swiss Patent No. CH 381 565 discloses a practice projectile comprising a transparent hood at the head thereof which will burst on impact, such hood containing a marking material such as a colored powder.
  • this optically transparent hood is intended only to recognize the color of the powder so as to distinguish various types of projectiles, such as practice projectile and live ammunition. It is not possible with like designs to track the trajectory of the projectile.
  • FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through practice ammunition in the form of a practice cartridge comprising an inventive practice projectile and a case receiving the latter;
  • FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through a practice projectile according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings. Identical elements in the various figures are designated with the same reference numerals.
  • FIG. 1 shows a practice projectile 1 received in a cartridge case 2 .
  • the head of practice projectile 1 has a hood 3 consisting of a transparent material—such as a plastic material—and covering a first compartment 4 and a second compartment 5 .
  • the two compartments are arranged one on top of the other and are separated from each other by a partition 6 therebetween.
  • the first compartment is filled with a first chemical component 7 such as an oxidant and the second compartment is filled with a second chemical component 8 such as a reducing agent.
  • the chemical reaction of the two chemical components causes chemoluminescent light to be emitted which is visible through the transparent hood while the projectile is flying.
  • the hood bursts, causing the end products of the reaction to be scattered in the vicinity of the impact site, whereby the emitted light marks that site optically and is visible from great distances.
  • FIG. 2 shows an inventive practice projectile 1 in which the head and its transparent hood 3 are designed to include a first compartment 4 holding a first chemical component 7 and a second compartment 5 holding a second chemical component 8 , said compartments placed in a side-by-side longitudinal relationship.
  • the compartments are separated longitudinally by a partition 6 , which is designed to be broken up by the centrifugal force produced by the twist of a twist-stabilised practice projectile, for example, to enable the chemical reaction to take place which constitutes the marking means.
  • the partitions may be provided with predetermined breaking points. Such breaking points are shown as thin regions 11 in FIG. 1 .
