Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sub-caliber projectile for insertion into a projectile receptacle with a projectile head and a tail-forming tail, which engages in a cavity of the projectile head.
  • Subcaliber projectiles require a projectile receptacle for sealing the projectile from the barrel, for example a shotgun.
  • the projectile recording which can be designed as a propellant cup, sabot or driving collar, is used together with the projectile in a cartridge case, from which it is expelled after ignition of the propellant charge of the cartridge with the aid of the resulting propellant gases together with the projectile into the barrel. After leaving the barrel the bullet shot is separated from the flying bullet.
  • the projectile recording can be provided with distributed over the circumference of predetermined separation points, which require a screen-like spreading of the projectile recording and thus a detachment from the floor at the exit of the projectile shot from the barrel.
  • the projectile may have a tail with radially projecting guide wings from the projectile body ( US 4 434 718 A ). Since different missions require different levels, different projectile shapes are provided for different purposes, which forces an additional adjustment of the projectile record especially for sub-caliber projectiles.
  • the invention has the object to provide a simple, inexpensive production of subcaliber projectiles for different purposes, without having to adjust each projectile recording.
  • the invention solves this problem by the fact that the guide vanes of the tail extend into the hollow projectile head and that the projectile head is folded into the gusset area between the guide vanes clamping.
  • the tail can be positively and permanently connected to the hollow projectile head by simply folding a wall section in the Zwikkel Scheme between the guide vanes of the tail.
  • This clamp connection allows the use of a constant shape of the tail for different projectile heads with the advantage that not only the production cost can be reduced, but also an additional adjustment of the projectile record can be omitted on the different floors, because in general the tail determined the shape of the projectile , Especially when the tail extends into the projectile head.
  • the pinching folding the wall section of the projectile head centered on the tail without additional measures.
  • tail particularly favorable flight conditions arise when the tail has a projecting away from the projectile head body, from which projecting towards the projectile head wings protrude radially.
  • the tail can be formed hollow. This cavity of the tail can also be used to hold an additional mass or as a receiving space for propellant gases, for example, to shift the projectile center or to support the detachment of the projectile recording by the outflowing from the cavity of the tail propellant gases after the bullet exit from a run. It need not be emphasized in detail that the tail can also be equipped with a tracer unit at the rear end of the main body of the tail.
  • the tail unit has a section which projects around the wall thickness of the hollow projectile head and accommodates the projectile head, it is easy to ensure a stepless transition from the projectile head to the tail, which improves the flight characteristics of the projectile.
  • the wings of the tail in the region of its rear end may form an inclined relative to an axial plane guide surface, which provides due to the Anströmön for a torque about the projectile axis, so that increases the flight stability due to the associated rotation of the projectile about its axis becomes.
  • the projectile head can form a re-entrant annular shoulder which not only benefits from the axial support of the projectile seat opposite the projectile but can also contribute to the flight stabilization of the projectile. If the annular shoulder is formed into an axial annular ridge with radial indentations or slots distributed over the circumference, the effect of the projectile upon impact with the target can additionally be influenced in a lasting manner, because this annular ridge ruptures axially due to the indentations or slots and radially outwardly is bent.
  • the projectile head on the front end has a formed by a central or annular recess annular bead which is provided with circumferentially distributed radial notches or slots, which in turn to a Widening of the torus when the bullet strikes a target.
  • the central recess in the projectile head may extend to the cavity of the tail, wherein in the recess a projecting into the cavity of the tail displacing is used, with an annular collar in a subsequent to the tail in the projectile head intended extension of the recess engages.
  • the annular bead is additionally widened by the kinetic energy of the expanding core with the aid of the annular collar of the expanding core, whereby the effect of the bullet is improved.
  • the projectile head can have an insert made of a heavier material whose greater kinetic energy can be used for certain purposes. If a softer insert is chosen, the plastic deformation of the insert can be used when hitting a harder target for a particular projectile effect.
  • the projectile head can also be formed from a granular material, which disintegrates when hitting a target.
  • the projectile head also a cavity of the tail extending recess for receiving a hard, extending into the cavity of the tail projectile core can be provided, the joining of projectile head and Tail is held between these structural parts without any additional measures. Due to its kinetic energy, the bullet core strikes the end of the projectile head when the bullet strikes the target and penetrates into the target object.
  • the projectile according to the embodiment of the Fig. 1 to 4 has a projectile head 1 and a tail unit 2 with radially projecting from a base body 3 wings 4.
  • the arrangement is made such that the base body 3 tapers away from the projectile head 1 against the projectile floor, while the guide vanes 4 leak against the projectile head 1 out.
  • the projectile head 1 is hollow and has a pot shape whose wall is denoted by 5.
  • the tail unit 2 engages with an axial portion 6, as in particular the 3 and 4 can be removed.
  • the guide vanes 4 extend into the region of the projectile head 1, the wall 5 is folded into the gusset area between the guide vanes 4, which mainly from the 3 and 4 becomes apparent.
  • the projectile head 1 is provided with a re-entrant annular shoulder 7, on the one hand improves the flight stability of the projectile and on the other hand for an axial support in the Fig. 3 dash-dotted lines indicated bullet 8 serves.
  • This projectile receptacle 8 which is designed according to the embodiment as a driving cup, causes a seal of the subcaliber projectile in the barrel, from which the projectile is fired.
  • the projectile is therefore also used together with the projectile holder 8 in a cartridge case, which receives the propellant charge between the cartridge bottom and the drive sleeve.
  • the tail 2 Due to the subdivision of the projectile in a projectile head 1 and a separate from the projectile head 1 tail 2, which is permanently connected to the projectile head by folding the wall 5 of the projectile head in the gusset area between the guide vanes 4 of the tail, are advantageous conditions for the production created different floors without having to adjust the projectile recording 8 to the respective floor, because yes the tail 2, which extends over a considerable length of the projectile, can be used for different floors without change in shape.
  • the tail 2 can also be formed hollow so that, if necessary, the cavity 9 can be used to hold an active ingredient or an additional mass.
  • the flight stability can be further improved if the guide vanes 4 form a guide surface 10 which is inclined relative to an axial plane in the region of its rear end Fig. 1 and 2 is indicated.
  • These guide surfaces 10 cause due to the flow of air through the air on the floor a torque that the projectile about its longitudinal axis set in rotation, so that the flight stability of the projectile can be improved with the swirl achieved thereby.
  • the one with the embodiment of the Fig. 1 to 4 coincident tail 2 shows the annular shoulder 7 is formed as an axial annular web 11, which has distributed over the circumference, radial notches 12, so that ruptures due to the notch effect of the annular web 11 when hitting a target and the sectors formed by the tearing of the annular web eleventh be bent radially outward.
  • the cavity 9 of the tail 2 is filled with an additional mass 13 in order to increase the bullet weight and to achieve a center of gravity displacement.
  • the projectile head 1 is provided at its front end with a coaxial to the projectile longitudinal axis, annular recess 14 which separates an outer annular bead 15 from the rest of the projectile head 1.
  • This annular bead 15 again has notches 16 distributed over the circumference, in order to achieve an impact-related tearing of the annular bead 15 and thus to improve the effect of the projectile.
  • the projectile head 1 forms a coaxial with the projectile axis, central recess 17, so that in turn an annular bead 15 is formed, which is provided for tearing with radial notches or slots 18 to secure a spreading of the projectile head 1 along these slots 18.
  • a projectile head 1 which has an insert 19 made of a heavier or softer material than the rest of the projectile head 1. In a heavier use 19 the penetration of the projectile is increased. If the insert 19 is softer, the plastic deformation of the insert 19 can be utilized when the projectile strikes a target for a particular projectile effect.
