Abstract

Bei einer patronierten Munition soll die zielwirksame Masse unter Wahrung gleicher Patronenlängen erhöht werden. In the case of ammunition with cartridges, it should be effective Mass increased while maintaining the same cartridge length will.

Der Geschoßkörper 2 reicht mit seinem das Stabilisie­ rungsleitwerk 3 tragenden Geschoßheck 4 bis in unmittelba­ re Bodennähe der Treibladungshülse 6 und enthält einen über das Leitwerk 3 hinausreichenden und von der Treibla­ dungshülse 6 beim Abschuß trennbaren massiven Ansatz 5. Der heckseitige Teil des Geschoßkörpers 2 ist ausgehend vom Boden bis wenigstens zu einem bis zur Mitte der Treibladungshülse 6 reichenden Längenbereich I₂ von einem mantelförmigen verbrennbaren Anzündelement 1 umhüllt. Der massive Ansatz 5 gewährleistet während des Abbrandes der Treibladung 30 bis zur Trennung einen hohen Gasdruck­ aufbau, wobei insbesondere eine Schüttpulvertreibladung 30 durch das Anzündelement 1 kurzzeitig, gleichmäßig und reproduzierbar anzündbar ist. Ohne die Patrone äußerlich verlängern zu müssen, wird unter Erhöhung der zielwirksa­ men Masse eine Geschoßverlängerung mit einem die Durch­ schlagsleistung verbessernden Verhältnis der Geschoßlänge I₁ zum Geschoßdurchmesser d₁ erzielt. The projectile body 2 reaches with its stabilization Rungsleitwerk 3 carrying tail 4 to in immediate re ground level of the propellant charge sleeve 6 and contains one beyond the tail 3 and from the Treibla Extension sleeve 6 when launching solid approach 5. The rear part of the projectile body 2 is outgoing from the bottom to at least one to the middle of the Propellant charge sleeve 6 reaching length range I₂ from one sheathed combustible igniter 1 envelops. The massive approach 5 ensures during the burn the propellant charge 30 up to the separation of a high gas pressure construction, in particular a bulk powder propellant 30 by the igniter 1 for a short time, evenly and is reproducibly ignitable. Without the cartridge externally To have to extend, will increase the effective Mass a floor extension with a through impact performance improving ratio of floor length I₁ to the floor diameter d₁ achieved.
