Benefits of technology
The present invention provides a color coded polymeric ammunition cartridge that includes a primer insert with a coupling element and a mid-body comprising a second polymer composition. The first polymer composition is a primer recess in the top surface of the primer insert and the second polymer composition extends from the coupling element to the flash hole. The first and second polymer compositions may include different pigments to provide an indicia to identify the color of the ammunition. The cartridge may be made using a variety of polymers and fillers, and may be used in different calibers and ammunition cartridges. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a color coded ammunition cartridge that provides an easy way to identify the color of the ammunition.
Problems solved by technology
Conventional ammunition cartridge casings for rifles and machine guns, as well as larger caliber weapons, are made from brass, which is heavy, expensive, and potentially hazardous.
Plastic cartridge casings have been known for many years but have failed to provide satisfactory ammunition that could be produced in commercial quantities with sufficient safety, ballistic, handling characteristics, and survive physical and natural conditions to which it will be exposed during the ammunition's intended life cycle; however, these characteristics have not been achieved.
