Definitions

  • the invention relates to a small-caliber full floor.
  • Small-caliber bullets are usually made of lead and lead alloys, for example by shaping pieces cut from a lead wire into bullets in dies.
  • Small-caliber shooting is a sport that is performed both outdoors and indoors.
  • the firing of lead bullets produces gases containing lead dust that are harmful to health. For this reason, special regulations regarding ventilation must be observed when shooting in halls.
  • the lead residues of the projectiles which are harmful to the environment, must be collected and disposed of.
  • the measures required to protect people and the environment when firing lead bullets are complex and expensive.
  • a small-caliber bullet made of a lead-free material is proposed according to the invention, the density of which is> 5 g / cm 3 .
  • a material has sufficient trajectory stability due to its density.
  • the metals tin or zinc or alloys of these two materials belong as particularly suitable materials, which are suitable both in terms of their hardness, their density and their harmlessness to the environment.
  • Tin has a density of about 7.2 g / cm 3 and zinc of about 7.3 g / cm 3 .
  • the material can also be a plastic, preferably a thermoplastic, which can easily be molded into a projectile by injection molding. Plastics that rot in nature are particularly advantageous. These bullets are removed naturally, so that no time-consuming collection is required.
  • Influence on the trajectory properties of projectiles made of plastic can be influenced by adding high-density metal powder, for example tungsten, to the plastic.
  • high-density metal powder for example tungsten
  • Lead is generally softer than the materials mentioned for the projectile according to the invention. For this reason, the deformation of the rear end of the bullet lifts the barrel well.
  • Soft lead has a Vickers hardness of around 5 HV.
  • the Vickers hardness of tin is also around 5 HV, while the hardness of pure zinc is 35 HV.
  • the shape, depth and diameter of the recess from the rear of the projectile must be matched to the material used. This depression is usually in the form of a spherical cap. Only an optimal eyelid results in a precise shot. The deepening of a projectile made of lead-free material starting from the rear is therefore generally much more pronounced than that of a lead projectile.
  • the depression can be hard Make up materials up to 65% of the length of the sleeve holder. This is usually about 3 mm long.
  • the case receptacle of the projectile has a case insertion groove. This is the only way to achieve sleeve pinching with a fixed projectile seat and a long service life for the pinching tools. The sleeve pinching causes an even projectile pulling force. This has a positive effect on the precision of the shot and thus on the accuracy.
  • the figure shows a small-caliber full storey 1 according to the invention, here made of a zinc alloy, on an enlarged scale.
  • the sleeve receptacle 2 has the following differences: In order to achieve optimal lids with the hard material zinc, the depression in the form of a spherical cap 3 penetrates deeply into the sleeve receptacle 2 from the rear 4. As a result, the remaining walls of the sleeve receptacle 2, in particular in the area of the tail 4, become thin and therefore easily deformable even with zinc as a harder material than lead.
  • the calotte 3 extends over a depth 7 into the sleeve receptacle 2 of the projectile.
  • the depth 7 is 65% of the total length 8 of the sleeve receptacle 2.
  • the sleeve receptacle 2 has a sleeve insertion groove 10.
  • the sleeve edge 11 is pressed into this sleeve insertion groove 10, which causes a sleeve pinching with a fixed projectile seat.
