Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Pb-free deformation partial separation projectile with a projectile body.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a Pb-free deformation partial decomposition projectile with a projectile body so that the killing effect of the projectile is improved.
  • the projectile has a collapsible core, being arranged in the projectile body arranged on the longitudinal axis, emanating from the top of the projectile in the interior extending bore is introduced and the floor off the upper part of the projectile body facing away from the outer periphery of the projectile body to the Bore extending at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis extending slope and the collapsible core has a cylindrical portion and a head portion, wherein the cylindrical portion is disposed in the bore and the head portion protrudes out of the bore and has a support surface which is adjacent to the slope in the projectile body is adapted and rests with this bearing surface on the slope of the projectile body and the head part has a rounded tip, which forms the top of the projectile, deforms upon impact of the projectile on the target body of the collapsible core and starts the mushrooming of the projectile.
  • the weight of the collapsible core is between 3% and 30% of the bullet weight.
  • the higher the weight fraction of the collapsible core at the bullet weight the greater the damage to vital organs. If the weight of the collapsible core is 3% of the bullet weight, the depth effect is low. However, if the weight of the collapsible core is 30% of the bullet weight, the depth effect is high.
  • the projectile body is according to the invention of a deformable Pb-free material or their alloys and is advantageously made of Cu or CuZn.
  • the collapsible core preferably consists of a Pb-free decomposable material, advantageously tin or a pressed tin granules.
  • the collapsible core is provided with predetermined breaking points.
  • a preferred embodiment of a core traversed with predetermined breaking points is in the DE 10 2012 023398 A1 described.
  • US2012 / 0111220 A1 discloses a Pb-free partial decomposition bullet.
  • the projectile body determines the Aufpilz of the projectile. This is done by the material, the shaping inside and or outside with or without predetermined breaking points inside or outside or both. Any well malleable Pb-free material or alloy can be used as materials, eg Cu or CuZn.
  • the collapsible core determines the response of the projectile and the defined decomposition of the bullet core.
  • the material consists of a Pb-free easily decomposable material, eg Sn, pressed granules, or as in DE 10 2012 023398 A1 described cores traversed with predetermined breaking points.
  • the mushrooming and defined disassembly of the projectile according to the invention in the target body determines the energy output of the projectile and thus the effect of the shot.
  • a collapsible core was placed in the deformation bullet. After impact of the bullet on the target body, deforms the core and starts mushrooming the bullet. This in turn exposes the collapsible core, disassembling itself in the target body and further damaging vital organs removed from the firing channel. The deformed projectile body continues to emit energy in the target body and causes the rejects.
  • the collapsible part (see figures) can be in the percentage of bullet weight between 3% and 30%. The higher the dissection percentage of the bullet weight, the greater the damage to vital organs.
  • the collapsible part at the bullet weight is preferably 3% to 30%.
  • FIG. 1 shows an inventive Pb-free deformation partial decomposition projectile with a projectile body 1 and a collapsible core 2 with a defined Aufpilz- and decomposition behavior.
  • the weight fraction of the collapsible core 2 at the bullet weight is 3%.
  • the projectile body 1 is arranged on the longitudinal axis 6, from the top 7 of the projectile body 1 outgoing extending into the interior bore 8 is introduced and has the floor 9 remote from the upper part of the projectile body 1 from the outer periphery 10 of the projectile body 1 to the bore 8 extending at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis 6 extending bevel 11.
  • the collapsible core 2 has a cylindrical portion 12 and a head portion 13, wherein the cylindrical portion 12 is disposed in the bore 8 and the head portion 13 protrudes out of the bore 8 and has a support surface 14 which is connected to the slope 11 in the projectile body. 1 is adjusted. With this bearing surface 14, the head part 13 rests on the bevel 11 of the projectile body 1.
  • the head part 13 has a rounded tip 15, which forms the top of the projectile.
  • FIG. 2 shows an inventive Pb-free deformation partial decomposition projectile with a projectile body 1 and a collapsible core 2 with a defined Aufpilz- and decomposition behavior.
  • the weight fraction of the collapsible core 2 at the bullet weight is 30%.
  • Like reference numerals also refer to the same items as in FIG. 1 ,
  • FIG. 3 shows the Aufpilzen 3 of the projectile body 1 and defined disassembly 4 of the collapsible core 2 of the projectile in the target body.
