A bullet cartridge () may include a bullet case () defining a caliber diameter (D), a projectile () inserted into the neck portion () of the bullet case (), and at least one annular layer () of a sealing medium () formed from a sealing medium () between the bullet case () and the projectile (). The bullet case () may be provided with the annular layer () using a microdosing device (microdoser) (). The annular layer may include not more than 1 mg of sealing medium () per mm of caliber diameter (D).

Bullet cartridge, method for manufacturing a bullet cartridge and plant for manufacturing bullet cartridges

The present invention relates to a bullet, in particular precision bullet, comprising a bullet core with a bow-side section, a tail-side section with a bullet base and a guide band located therebetween, and a bullet jacket completely surrounding the bullet core, wherein in the region of the bullet core tail axially offset from the guide band and/or in the region of a tail-side end face of the bullet core base and/or in the region of the bullet core bow axially offset from the guide band a profiling is placed, in accordance with the bullet jacket, adapts complementary in shape in in such a way that an anti-rotation structure is formed between the bullet jacket and the bullet core.

For the transport and handling of ammunition, the safety level is determined according to the amount of explosive used. Thereby, regulatory constraints are set for example for air transports, which barely suffice for a trial of projectiles. By a specific guidance of shockwaves resulting on impact on a target multilateral, high compressions are evolving inside the acting body ('), which are initiating the same reliably without additional means or support agents. The subject of the invention aims at great savings of explosive without losses in the effect and significantly increases the safety during transport and handling.

Full jacket safety projectile, particularly for multipurpose applications

Tracer ammunition for tracking the trajectory and/or the impact of projectiles in the target generally contains pyrotechnics. These pyrotechnics demonstrate various disadvantages, wherein the most serious is the continued burning of the pyrotechnics, even after penetration of the projectile in the target. This causes an increased risk of fire and acute injuries. A mixture of light metal and a carbon-containing substrate, ignites during firing of a projectile and burns during its flight by means of air oxygen introduced into the combustion chamber by way of tear-off edges, and produces a tracer that extinguishes in the target.

A fragmentation projectile in one aspect has a frontal cavity and defined fragments of medium to high density. The fragments are nearly form fitting together to form a compact projectile until its impact on the target. To achieve these specific mechanical properties, Additive Manufacturing (AM) methods are applied.

Fragmentation projectile and method for its manufacturing

The invention relates to a detonator system for hand grenades, having an ignition element () which after initiation triggers a delay and safety device, which, with a time delay after the initiation, fires a detonator (), which then ignites an ignition booster (), wherein the delay and safety device includes a dual safety device of two independent parts. So that the hand grenade detonator system according to the invention includes a purely pyrotechnic detonator system instead of a pyrotechnic-mechanical system, it is suggested that the delay and safety device consists of two pyrotechnic ignition delay devices with different delay times&#x2014;specifically a safety element () and a delay element ()&#x2014;wherein the delay time of the safety element () is shorter than the delay time of the delay element (), and the safety element () includes a timing composition which, once it has burned through, ignites a gas charge (), the gas of which opens blocking elements (), and the delay element () includes a firing charge, and the firing charge is only in operative connection with the detonator () after the opening of the blocking elements ().

Detonator system for hand grenades

The invention relates to a projectile () with a frangible material, for short-range ammunition. To prevent any significant losses of precision and prevent the internal ballistic loading from being so great that it leads to the destruction of the projectile, it is suggested according to the invention that the projectile () consists of a shell () made of brass, the shell () has, seen in the direction of flight, a front cylindrical receiving space () and a rear cylindrical receiving space (), the two receiving spaces () are arranged coaxially with the longitudinal axis () of the projectile and are separated from each other by a partition wall (), the partition wall () forms the floor () of the front receiving space (), and a core () of a frangible material is inserted in the front receiving space (), the tip () of the core () protrudes out of the front receiving space (), and at least one predetermined breaking point (), running around the circumference of the shell (), is formed in the shell () in the region of the partition wall ().
