Benefits of technology

[0028]The design of the casing part and/or of the base of the cartridge of plastic has the advantage that an inexpensive cartridge case can be provided. In addition, the casing is more environmentally friendly than other metallic casings known from the prior art. The conne

Problems solved by technology

On the one hand the costs of such rounds are relatively high because of the materials used.
On the other hand, the materials are also partly problematic for the environment.
Especially in the case of heavy metals, there are some circles of opinion that they pollu

first embodiment

[0010] the projectile comprises a projectile core of metal with a plastic jacket surrounding the projectile core and at least partly determining the external shape of the projectile. The projectile core is thereby intrinsically stable. It is thus preferably a solid projectile core.

second embodiment

[0011] the projectile comprises a projectile core made of a mixture of plastic and metal with a plastic jacket surrounding the projectile core and at least partly determining the external shape of the projectile. It is e.g. conceivable here that there are metal parts in the plastic mixture, wherein the plastic mixture is used as a matrix for holding the metal parts.

third embodiment

[0012] the projectile comprises a projectile core of solid or loose metallic powder with a plastic jacket surrounding the projectile core and at least partly determining the external shape of the projectile. The powder can be disposed loosely in the jacket, wherein an internal space in which the powder is disposed is provided by the jacket. The powder can, however, also e.g. be made into a solid composite by a sinter process, wherein said solid composite is then surrounded by the jacket.

[0013]Because of the formation of the projectile with a metallic or metal-containing core and a plastic jacket, a round can be provided that has very similar ballistic properties to conventional rounds. The metallic core thereby ensures a suitable weight, while the plastic jacket with the external shape determines the aerodynamics of the projectile.

[0014]The projectile core preferably has the shape of a cylinder. The projectile core can thus be particularly simply manufactured.

[0015]Preferably, the j...

Abstract

The invention relates to a training projectile (1) for short-range use, in particular less than 100 meters, comprising a front region (2), which extends along a central axis (M) and which comprises a projectile tip (3), and comprising a tail region (4), which adjoins the front region (2) in the direction of the central axis (M) and which comprises a projectile end (5). The tail region (4) is designed for receiving the projectile (1) in a cartridge case (6). The projectile (1) comprises a projectile core (7) made of metal and a jacket (8) which surrounds the projectile core (7), determines the outer shape of the projectile (1), and is made of plastics.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a training projectile for use over short distances, especially less than 100 meters, particularly preferably less than 50 meters, according to the preamble of claim 1 and a training cartridge with said training projectile as claimed in claim 10.PRIOR ART[0002]Cartridge ammunition is known from the prior art. For example, the Swiss Army uses the rifle cartridge 90 (GP 90). NATO also uses very similar ammunition.[0003]Such cartridges typically comprise a projectile or round, a cartridge case for storing the projectile and a propellant, and a percussion cap disposed in the base of the cartridge, by means of which the propellant can be suitably ignited so that the projectile can be suitably fired.[0004]Both the projectile and the cartridge case consist of metallic materials in the case of the above-mentioned ammunition. For example, the projectile can be made of a lead alloy with a casing of brass alloy and the cartridge case consist...
