Definitions

the invention relates to an ammunition, in particular mortar ammunition, with an explosive-filled projectile jacket tapering in a front part and having preformed projectiles on its outer circumference.
the object of the invention is to propose ammunition of the type mentioned, the penetration of which is increased.
the above object is achieved in that the preformed projectiles are stored in a rear part of the projectile jacket and in that several charges forming projectiles during the detonation of the explosive are distributed over the circumference and height at the front part of the projectile jacket.
This ammunition has two mechanisms of action. On the one hand, the projectiles formed during the detonation act at high speed and thus high penetration power. On the other hand, the preformed projectiles work in a scattering area with a high scatter density.
the mass of each of the charges forming a projectile when the explosive is detonated is greater than the mass of one of the preformed fragments. This increases the breakthrough performance.
the ammunition has a projectile casing 1 which is filled with explosives 2.
a circumferential recess 4 is provided, in which a plurality of steel balls 5 are embedded.
the steel balls 5 are arranged in one or more layers and fixed in a mass 6. For example, between 2000 and 3000 steel balls 5 are accommodated in the recess 4.
the projectile jacket 1 has a front part 7 tapering towards the front. This is provided with openings 8. Seen from the outside, concave, dome-shaped inserts 9 are inserted into these. Each insert 9 is a projectile-forming body, for example made of copper. The surface of the additionally introduced body 10, which consists of foam or fire water, is flush with the surface of the front part 7.
the projectile-forming bodies 9 are evenly distributed over four circumferential lines 11, 12, 13 and 14.
the projectile-forming bodies 9 of the individual circumferential lines are offset from one another (cf. FIG. 1).
each body 9 is significantly larger than the mass of one of the steel balls 5 (see FIG. 1).
the volume of one of the bodies 9 is approximately twenty to forty times that of the steel balls 5.
the deposits form 9 projectiles.
the bodies 9 take on a projectile shape. They are accelerated to a very high initial speed of around 2000 to 2500 m / s. These projectiles have a penetration performance that is at least sufficient for lightly armored targets.
the steel balls 5 are accelerated when the explosive 2 is ignited. Their penetration rate is lower than that of the projectiles formed from the bodies 9. Their scatter density is much greater than that of the projectiles.
