Definitions

  • the invention relates to ammunition according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Ammunition of the aforementioned type is known from Ground Defense International, No 64, May 1980, page 19, 2nd column from the right. It is intended for use with rifles of different calibers, a respective propellant charge being provided for the rifle caliber in question.
  • the two-part ammunition is a hindrance here.
  • the effective range is only 100 m with a flat trajectory and only 350 m with a 45 0 run increase.
  • the invention has for its object to provide ammunition of the type mentioned, which, with a sufficiently long range, does not require any additional device.
  • an ammunition unit 30 has a propellant charge sleeve 32 which extends, essentially in the form of a circular cylinder, over its entire length with an essentially smooth peripheral surface 33 between an outer sleeve base 58 and a neck 34.
  • An explosive projectile 36 which extends from a bottom surface 39 to a tip surface 49, has a sealing tape 46 in the region of its peripheral surface 37.
  • An explosive charge 38 is arranged in an interior space (not designated in more detail). A contour 40 shown in broken lines will be explained in the further course.
  • a propellant charge 44 extending between an inner sleeve base surface 49 and the storey base 39 is arranged.
  • a circular cylindrical part of the explosive projectile 36 extends along a longitudinal axis A to an edge 48, in which the peripheral surface 37 and an oval surface 53 meet.
  • the propellant charge 44 is designed in such a way that the energy released from it fires a substantially elongated trajectory of the explosive projectile 36 and consequently amounts to its final ballistic effect in the target.
  • the propellant charge 44 is divided into a front 44 'and a rear part 44 "by the dashed line of an imaginary plane 73', which will be discussed in the further description.
  • a circular-cylindrical propellant charge sleeve 62 extends from an outer propellant charge base surface 58 ′ to the front end face 65 of a neck 64.
  • a payload projectile which is designed as a heavy explosive projectile 66, extends along the longitudinal axis A between a storey floor 73 and a tip surface 84. This results in an essentially circular-cylindrical body which extends between the outer sleeve base surface 58 'and a front guide band 80 and to which a body of a ground proximity detonator 82 adjoins on the tip side, which is delimited by an oval surface 83.
  • An explosive charge 72 is arranged in the interior of the explosive projectile 66, which is not designated in any more detail. This is divided into a front part 72 'and a rear part 72' 'by the dashed line of an imaginary plane 71.
  • the front part 72 ' corresponds to the explosive charge 38 of the ammunition unit 30 in Figure 2.
  • the dashed line of an imaginary plane 39' corresponds to the floor 39 of the ammunition unit 30 in Figure 2, which will be discussed in the further course of the description.
  • a rear-side part 64 of the explosive projectile 66 extends from a rear sealing band 78 to the floor 73 of the floor. A region of smaller outer diameter extending between the latter and an annular surface 69 forming a step serves as a receptacle for an extendable stabilizer.
  • a propellant charge 76 arranged in the interior 74 of the propellant charge sleeve 62 extends axially between the inner case base surface 79 and the floor 73.
  • the ammunition units 30 (FIG. 2) and 60 (FIG. 4) have essentially the same external dimensions, so that they can advantageously be used in one and the same weapon.
  • a volume reserved for the front part 44 'of the propellant charge 44 of the ammunition unit 30 is taken up in the ammunition unit 60 by the rear part of the super-heavy explosive projectile 66 which extends between the floor 73 and the imaginary level 39'.
  • the ammunition unit 60 is preferably suitable in the form shown for use against targets behind cover.
  • the barrel of the weapon in question is raised in the upper angle group. In the case of a strongly curved trajectory of the super-heavy explosive projectile 66, this has a sufficiently long range.
  • the propellant charge 76 is designed in such a way that the energy released from it by firing brings the heavier explosive projectile 66 to the summit of its trajectory, and consequently does not have the final ballistic effect in the target.
  • an explosive charge 72 which is enlarged by the rear part 72 ′′ (compared to the ammunition unit 30) with the projectile shell part assigned to it, which is not described in more detail, achieves a particularly great target effect which can be adapted to the respective requirements by the choice of the detonator and / or its setting. This results in a high effectiveness, preferably against soft targets.
  • the heavier explosive projectile 66 is equipped with at least one shaped charge, each with a projectile-forming assignment, it can now be used against massed armored formations, now advantageously from a covered firing position of the weapon in question, the armor-piercing effect advantageously being achieved from above.
  • an ammunition unit 10 is provided with a bottle-shaped propellant charge sleeve 12, which extends with a rear, slightly conical part with the largest diameter between an outer case base 27 and a shoulder 14 as a transition into a neck 17 with a small diameter.
  • the ammunition unit 10 has an explosive projectile 18 with a peripheral surface 19, an explosive charge 20 and a sealing (or guide) band 26 on the rear.
  • the contours of the ammunition unit 10 are shown in FIG. 3 in the contours of the ammunition unit 30, (60).
  • an essentially circular cylindrical space 52 extends to an edge 51 in which a dashed track 53 'of the oval surface 53, (83) collides with track 50.
  • a further circumferential space 54 extends between the track 53 'and a track of the ogival surface of the explosive projectile 18, which is not described in any more detail.
  • the spaces 52 and 54 result in a package volume deficit between the ammunition unit 10 and the ammunition unit 30, (60). In a broad sense, this deficit proves to be disadvantageous.
  • the ammunition unit 10 requires the same space for its storage and replenishment and operational transport as for the ammunition unit 30, (60.), which is far superior in its effectiveness.
  • dashed lines 40 in FIG. 2 are assigned to the traces of an unspecified peripheral surface of the propellant charge 20 of the ammunition unit 10.
  • the ammunition unit 10 In comparison with continuously circular-cylindrical bodies of the same length, the ammunition unit 10 also has a deficit in its packing volume which is additionally increased by the tip space described above. The resulting disadvantage becomes particularly apparent in connection with the observation of the interior of an armored vehicle, for example: it is used particularly poorly by the ammunition unit 10. This contrasts with optimal use of the ammunition units 30 and 60.
  • the invention proves to be particularly advantageous in connection with cannons, the tubes of which can be raised sufficiently.
  • automatic, i.e. machine guns given both their mobility. as well as high cadence in the foreground of the consideration. they experience a significant expansion of their respective range of applications and make separate firearms of comparable range and caliber superfluous in the relevant area of application.
  • the ammunition units 30 and 60 are suitable for use in both smooth and drawn tubes. While slipping sealing tapes are to be provided in the latter, the advantages associated with the former result from the increased use of hot and high-energy propellant substances.
