Definitions

  • the invention relates to a projectile for a handgun cartridge, with a projectile core and a core casing, the core consisting of a specifically heavier material than the casing and the core and casing are positively connected to one another.
  • the core and the sheath that completely surrounds it down to the bottom are connected to one another only by a slight compression at the bottom end of the sheath, so that when the core hits, the thin layer of the sheath immediately pierces and is alone penetrates into the target, whereby the desired penetration performance is achieved, but only a weak shock and man-stopping effect.
  • projectiles that are expected to have a high penetration rate have so far been made from a material of high specific weight and are driven by an explosive propellant charge, these projectiles are next to the Breakdown line also connected large shot distances, so that in the event of a missed shot with such a projectile, there is an uncontrolled risk to third parties even at great distances and the like for police operations or the like. are unsuitable.
  • a police operation or the like it is in fact advantageous if projectiles are characterized by a good man-stopping effect and, if the target is missed, only bring a small danger area with them.
  • a relatively high penetration rate is desired in order to be able to penetrate the usual armor against small arms.
  • the known projectiles only partially meet these requirements and their use, particularly in police operations, therefore often remains unsatisfactory.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a projectile of the type described which meets the opposing requirements with regard to high
  • Puncture performance and a man-stopping effect as well as a relatively short trajectory if the target is missed is sufficient.
  • the invention achieves this object in that the projectile core forms circumferential, at most radially outwardly extending to a diameter range determined by the maximum core diameter, for the form-locking connection with the core jacket and the core jacket is open to the projectile tip in a manner known per se . Due to this special positive connection between core and jacket, the mutual cohesion of core and jacket is strong enough to avoid separation when striking soft or plastic target media and to ensure a mutual penetration, the jacket being expanded and rolled up within the target medium, what leads to the desired man-stopping effect.
  • the Form-locking connection is again not so strong, however, to withstand the reefing on hard target media, so that only the heavy projectile core penetrates into hard target media and the desired penetration effect occurs.
  • the opening of the core jacket on the front makes it easier to roll it up into soft target media or to strip it off when it hits hard target media.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the projectile core protrudes from the core jacket on the tip side, the cylindrical core jacket pulling axially towards the tip beyond the cylindrical part of the projectile core which changes into a conical tip part, or the tip-side end face of the core jacket is flush with the envelope surface of the core tip can be connected.
  • This allows the projectile effect by projecting the core more or less far, by the size of a free space between the core and jacket, the formation of the projectile tip and the like. adapt to special circumstances and optimize for certain target media.
  • the core jacket has axially running predetermined breaking points, the rolling-up process of the jacket in a soft target medium can be facilitated and the man-stopping effect can be increased. - 5 -
  • FIGS. 2-5 show various exemplary embodiments of a projectile according to the invention also in axial section.
  • a projectile 1 for a handgun cartridge has a projectile core 2 and a core casing 3, the core
  • the kernel jacket 3 is provided on the outer periphery in the base area with deformation undercuts 4 for a tight fit in the gun barrel when firing, for which purpose sealing rings or sealing caps, not shown, can also be fitted onto the kernel jacket.
  • Projectile core 2 and core casing 3 are positively connected to one another and the circumferential shapes 6 of projectile core 2 for this form-fit connection lie within a diameter range determined by the maximum core diameter.
  • These grooves 6 are formed by a plurality of grooves or threads arranged in a row and ensure the desired cohesion between the core and the jacket.
  • the projectile 1 is seated in a conventional cartridge case 12 which is equipped with a primer 13 and has a powder space 14 for receiving the propellant charge.
  • An ignition channel 15 between the primer 13 and the powder chamber 14 permits the ignition of the propellant charge.
  • the projectile core 2 protrudes on the tip side over the core jacket
  • the core jacket 3 can be pulled axially beyond the cylindrical part of the projectile core 2, so that between the conical tip part of the projectile 2 and the core man- tel 3 an annular space 5 remains.
  • the projectile core 2 can protrude not only with its tip but also partially with its cylinder part over the core jacket 3 and according to FIG. 3 the core jacket 3 with its tip-side end face can be aligned with the envelope surface of the Connect the core tip.
  • the core casing 3 can be closed on the bottom without impairing the projectile effect, and from the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4 it can be seen that the projectile core 2 has an arbitrarily shaped core tip, for example can have a blunt tip.
  • axially extending grooves are provided in the core jacket 3 as predetermined breaking points 11, which are arranged symmetrically and extend from the tip-side jacket edge to the area of the positive connection 6.
  • a projectile according to the invention hits a hard target medium, for example a steel plate
  • the projectile core 2 penetrates into the steel plate because it displaces the material located directly in front of the core tip.
  • the core jacket 3 deforms on the surface of the steel plate and increases its diameter centrally around the point of impact of the projectile core 2, while the projectile core 2 continues into the Steel plate penetrates. From a defined penetration depth of the form-locking connection between 6 solves Geschoß ⁇ core 2 and the core shroud 3 and the projectile core 2 is dissolved from the core shroud 3 "alone its way through the steel plate continuously.
  • the same steel plate was shot at with a caliber-sized commercial ammunition, the bullet weighing about 8 grams.
  • the projectile according to the invention for this experiment had a weight of 2.3 grams.
  • the commercially available projectile had no or only little effect when it hit the steel plate, whereas the full penetration with residual effect was achieved behind the plate in the case of the projectile according to the invention.
  • a projectile 1 according to the invention hits a plastic clay block or another soft target medium, the projectile penetrates into the plastic target medium.
  • the core jacket 3 deforms by first widening over the entire circumference and detaching from the upper part of the projectile core 2 in order to roll up with increasing depth of penetration in the direction of the rear of the projectile, with a tip-side clearance 5 expanding and rolling up of the projectile core jacket 3 against the direction of fire favored.
  • the diameter of the projectile 1 is considerably increased, which entails an increased energy output from the projectile 1 in the plastic target medium.
  • the form-fitting connection 6 between core jacket 3 and projectile core 2 does not come loose as when hitting hard target media, the undeformed projectile core 2 and the strongly deformed core jacket 3 form a unit, the projectile 1 being deformed faster than comparable projectiles due to the deformation of the core jacket 3 releases the energy to the plastic target and comes to a standstill after a relatively short penetration path.
  • the core jacket 3 will tear along the predetermined breaking points 11 and, with increasing penetration depth, roll up in segments like the direction of the shot and thereby further enlarge the diameter of the projectile 1.
  • the invention is of course not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown and it also includes a wide variety of materials for the projectile core, such as steel, hard metal, tungsten and the like. and for the core jacket, such as aluminum, aluminum alloys, plastics and the like.
  • the core jacket also entirely or partially with a protective layer of copper, plastic or the like. can be provided to protect the gun barrel, etc.
