Abstract
A polymeric cartridge subassembly for use in medium caliber weaponry, comprising a metallic base having a rearward surface, an open forward surface, and a coupling element therebetween. A polymeric casing is mated with the base coupling element via a coupling end, and includes a forward end opening, an opposite end, and a middle body portion therebetween. The forward end opening is adapted to receive a projectile, and the coupling end has an outer diameter less than that of the middle body portion to facilitate mating with the base coupling element. The polymeric casing is formed from a graphene-reinforced polymer matrix composite which is light-weight; producing necessary ballistics for medium caliber ammunition without deformation of the polymeric casing after firing.
