Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hard core projectile, consisting of a projectile core, in which a penetrator is inserted, which protrudes from the front side of the core.
  • a hard core projectile consisting of a projectile core, in which a penetrator is inserted, which protrudes from the front side of the core.
  • a penetrator is inserted, which protrudes from the front side of the core.
  • the object of the invention is to increase the breakdown power, the penetration capacity of a hard core projectile.
  • the penetrator is inserted into a cylindrical bore extending centrally in the projectile axis in the projectile core.
  • the penetrator extends over the center of the projectile, beyond the ogival area, into the cylindrical part.
  • the penetrator can fill the hole completely.
  • the bullet core encloses the penetrator in the ogival part up to the exposed tip, whereby the wall thickness decreases continuously down to zero.
  • the tip of the penetrator is exposed. Only the cylindrical part of the bullet core serving to guide the barrel is enclosed by a jacket.
  • the penetrator When the hard core bullet according to the invention impinges in the target body, the penetrator immediately unfolds its effect. The energy that would be required for a coat enclosing the ogival area for deformation and disassembly of the shell is available on this bullet full of the penetrator.
  • the penetrator is made of a very high density material such as tungsten carbide.
  • the material of the projectile core consists of a usable for projectiles, preferably lead-free material such as hardened or non-hardened steel or non-ferrous metals such as copper and brass or their alloys. In a lead-free material that pollutes the environment less, the deformation is comparatively lower than lead, whereby a maximum possible impact force is achieved.
  • the attachment of the penetrator in the bullet core can be done in different ways. Easy to manufacture is a frictional connection such as a press fit, in which the penetrator is pressed into the core. But it is also possible a cohesive connection by soldering or gluing or a positive attachment. In the latter example, the core material can be pressed into one or more grooves in the penetrator.
  • the attachment types are intended to ensure that the bullet does not disassemble into the penetrator and bullet core as the projectile penetrates into the target body. The effect of the projectile itself and the effects on it depend on the hardness of the medium hit. In a soft medium, the bullet remains. Core and penetrator do not separate. In a hard medium, the core and penetrator can separate from each other, the penetrator then forms the committee.
  • FIG. 1 1 shows a hard core projectile according to the invention in longitudinal section.
  • the projectile core 2 encloses a penetrator 3, which is inserted in a cylindrical bore 4, which runs centrally to the projectile axis 5.
  • the penetrator 3 extends over the ogival region 6 of the projectile 1 in the cylindrical part 7, which serves the guide in the barrel and fills in the present embodiment, the bore 4 completely.
  • the attachment to the bullet core can be done in the present embodiment frictionally by an interference fit or cohesively by soldering or gluing.
  • the ogivale area 6 of the projectile and thus also the penetrator 3 extend beyond the center 8 of the projectile.
  • the cylindrical part 7 of the projectile 1 is enclosed by a jacket 9, which has a groove 11 in the region of the bottom 10 of the bore 4.
  • a groove 12 In the transition from the ogival region 6 to the cylindrical part 7 of the projectile 1 extends on the circumference of the projectile 1 a groove 12, in which the edge 13 of the shell 9 is pressed so that it does not project beyond the surface of the projectile. This prevents the bullet jacket from peeling off when the bullet hits a target medium.
  • a conical recess 15 In the rear 14 of the projectile 1 is a conical recess 15, which improves the flight characteristics of the projectile by stabilization.
  • the conical tip 16 of the penetrator 3 extends out of the projectile core 2. In this region of the transition 17, the wall thickness of the core 2 tapers to zero.
  • FIG. 2 differs from the previous embodiment by the design of the projectile nose.
  • the hard core 2 has at the transition 17 from the top 16 of the penetrator 3 in the cylindrical part a perpendicular to the projectile axis 5 extending narrow Ring surface 18 on. When hitting a hard target medium thereby a defined release of the penetrator is effected.
  • the penetrator 3 already penetrates into the target medium before the hard core 2 impinges with its annular surface 19.
  • the manner of attachment of the penetrator 3 in the bore 4 can be influenced by the separation of penetrator and core.
  • FIG. 4 is an inventive hard core projectile with a positive connection between the penetrator and projectile core, also shown in section. All with the previous embodiment after FIG. 1 matching features are designated by the same reference numerals.
  • the penetrator 3 carries in the transition region from the ogival region 6 of the projectile to the cylindrical part 7 on its circumference a groove 18.
  • the penetrator 3 is first inserted into the bore 4. After coating the jacket 9, a simultaneous attachment of the shell and the penetrator 3 by the edge 13 of the shell 9 is pressed into the core 2 and thus the material of the core in the groove 18. Notwithstanding the present embodiment, further grooves may be provided in the penetrator, in which the material of the core can be pressed. This would be conceivable at the point of a Einrillung.
