Abstract

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 (5′), 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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Detonator system for hand grenades

Abstract

The invention relates to a detonator system for hand grenades, having an ignition element (1) which after initiation triggers a delay and safety device, which, with a time delay after the initiation, fires a detonator (7), which then ignites an ignition booster (8), 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—specifically a safety element (3) and a delay element (4)—wherein the delay time of the safety element (3) is shorter than the delay time of the delay element (4), and the safety element (3) includes a timing composition which, once it has burned through, ignites a gas charge (9), the gas of which opens blocking elements (5), and the delay element (4) includes a firing charge, and the firing charge is only in operative connection with the detonator (7) after the opening of the blocking elements (5).
