Definitions

  • Previously common projectiles consisted of a thin metal shell, with a lead filling inside.
  • Other projectile constructions consist of solid metal cylinders with rounded tips, made of brass or copper-alloyed non-ferrous metals. Through central bores, with z.T. Fillings made of lead, plastic, etc. were tried to control the deformation or disassembly of the projectiles. Many splinters of a certain size increase the killing effect of the projectile by increasing multiple injuries.

Abstract

The projectile for hunting wild animals, comprises concentric metal inserts (3, 4) arranged in a homogeneous projectile body (1) for controlled fragment formation, a disk axially arranged in arbitrary form for the fragment formation, and a cavity (2) filled with a homogeneous mixture of plastic and metal particles. Onion-skin-like pre-fragmented concentric metal inserts are arranged in arbitrary form for uniform fragment formation.

Description

Bisher übliche Geschosse bestanden aus einem dünnen Metallmantel, mit einer Bleifüllung im Inneren. Weitere Geschosskonstruktionen bestehen aus massiven Metallzylindern mit gerundeten Spitzen, aus messing- oder kupferlegierten Buntmetallen. Durch zentrale Bohrungen, mit z.T. Füllungen aus Blei, Kunststoff etc. wurde versucht, das deformieren bzw. das zerlegen der Geschosse zu steuern. Viele Splitter von einer gewissen Grösse steigern die Tötungswirkung des Geschosses durch Zunahme multipler Verletzungen.Previously common projectiles consisted of a thin metal shell, with a lead filling inside. Other projectile constructions consist of solid metal cylinders with rounded tips, made of brass or copper-alloyed non-ferrous metals. Through central bores, with z.T. Fillings made of lead, plastic, etc. were tried to control the deformation or disassembly of the projectiles. Many splinters of a certain size increase the killing effect of the projectile by increasing multiple injuries.

Das neue hier vorgestellte Geschoss vergrössert die Zahl der wirksamen Splitter beträchtlich durch einfügen von mehreren konzentrischen splitternden Mänteln (3, 4 etc.) im Geschossinneren. (Fig. A, B und C). Der Hohlraum in der Spitze (2) dient zur Einleitung der Deformation.The new bullet presented here considerably increases the number of effective splinters by inserting several concentric splintering coats (3, 4, etc.) inside the bullet. (Figures A, B and C). The cavity in the tip (2) serves to initiate the deformation.
