Definitions
- the invention relates to a projectile with low recoil and high stopping power. It applies to any caliber of handgun or infantry.
- the Ec is therefore directly proportional to the mass and the square of the remaining velocity of the projectile.
- the recoil pulse is therefore directly proportional to the mass and the initial speed of the projectile.
- the projectile according to the invention aims to minimize this contradiction.
- the invention aims to provide a projectile with a high stopping power, the construction of which is such that no deformation or disintegration of the projectile takes place in a soft target.
- the subject of the invention is a low mass projectile, making it possible to obtain a weak reversing pulse by increasing the stopping power at all distances of use of the ammunition, by a rapid abandonment of its kinetic energy in the target, without deformation or disintegration.
- the projectile according to the invention making it possible to achieve the aforementioned advantages a.a. is characterized by its geometry and in particular the ratio l / d (length on caliber), which will advantageously be greater than 3.
- a projectile according to the invention is characterized in that the proportions of the lengths of the constituent parts of the projectile are: for the warhead, between 1.5 and 3 times the size of the size, for the cylindrical part between 0.7 and 2 times the size of the size and for the rear conical part between 0 and 1 times the size of the size, the l / d ratio (length over the size of the caliber) being located between 3 and 6 and the center of gravity of the projectile being located in said cylindrical part of the projectile.
- FR 1 349 178 is described a projectile comprising a metal casing and a synthetic material core.
- DE 1 428 692 describes a projectile comprising a lead core and a metal casing.
- the core therefore has a higher density than the envelope.
- the position of the center of gravity is not specified.
- the projectile 1 is substantially made up of two elements, the casing 2 and the core 3, respectively.
- the casing 2 is hollow and made of a hard material, for example an alloy of copper, steel or the like.
- the core 3 is made of a rigid material of lower density than the envelope, such as high density plastic, for example polycarbonate, polyamide or other, possibly loaded with fibers, glass beads, or the like.
- high density plastic for example polycarbonate, polyamide or other, possibly loaded with fibers, glass beads, or the like.
- the core 3 can be made in one or more pieces which may or may not be joined to one another.
- the shape of the projectile is such that optimal aerodynamics are obtained, making it possible to maintain the high remaining speeds necessary for the desired performance.
- the ball is tilted in a soft body as a result of the very rapid destabilization of such a projectile while retaining considerable penetrating power due to its high speed and its rigid construction.
- the position of the center of gravity 7 will be between 0 and 4 mm in the cylindrical part 5 from the connection with the warhead 4.
- the core 3 could consist of two or more pieces mounted one in the extension of the other and possibly joined together in any way.
