[0001] SPECIAL MISSION PROJECTILE

[0002] Technical Field

[0003] Invention relates to a special mission projectile, which is filled with a single ball made of multiple, less strong metals than steel (e.g. copper, brass, lead) or of a softer material such as rubber, and which offers customizable filling for various missions such as drone shoot down, ambush, raid and infiltration attempts.

[0004] State of the Art

[0005] Ammunition systems are one of the key elements that determine the effectiveness of firearms. Standard projectiles have a core and case structure and exit the barrel with the operation of the firing mechanism and head towards the target. This type of projectile comprises a core, which is usually made of lead and copper, and a case that holds the core. Core is obtained by pouring lead into a copper shell, and after firing, the case separates from the core and leaves the barrel. Standard projectile construction used in all pistols, rifles and heavy machine guns is based on these basic principles.

[0006] In standard projectiles, there is a clear separation between the core and the case, and the core is set in motion by the explosive force in the case. Although such ammunition structures are adequate for general use, they have various disadvantages for specific missions and special operations, such as uniform filling and limited functionality, ineffective target reduction capability, high material weight, inadequate reuse and customization, and inability to control the explosion power. Standard projectiles usually have a fixed structure and filling shape. This situation prevents the development of ammunition options that can be customized to the specific mission requirements or that contain different metals. Standard projectiles are not optimized for specific missions, especially for shooting down small and moving targets such as drones. Therefore, it can provide a low effectiveness in task achievement. Dense metals such as lead used in standard projectile structures increase the total weight of the ammunition. This can lead to difficulties in terms of portability in long-term operations. Standardized ammunitions are environmentally and economically disadvantageous because they are produced with uniform materials and cannot be reloaded. There are no structures that can be redesigned or customized to suit the task. Design of the core and case in standard projectiles does not provide the possibility of adjusting the effect ofthe explosive force to specific mission requirements. This creates shortcomings in situations requiring operational flexibility and precision.

[0007] An example of a projectile that travels to the target in one piece when fired is the invention subject to patent US2011107937 (A1). Invention relates to a multi-piece bullet for a small-diameter gun magazine. Said projectile contains a metal sleeve with a bore, a plastic sleeve with a through hole and a high density core. Sleeve is a cylindrical metal structure with a hole. Sheath comprises a cylindrical end, a conical end and a through hole. Nucleus is a cylindrical structure with a conical end and a flat end. Projectile is assembled by inserting the core into the through bore of the sleeve and then clamping the sleeve into the bore of the sleeve. Assembled bullet is connected to the cartridge by filling the opening at the end of the cartridge case with gunpowder and then compressing the case. When the projectile is fired, all the components remain together, but in the event of hitting a target, they disintegrate. Since the nucleus has a higher mass than the other components, the fragments separate very easily and most of the kinetic energy remains in the nucleus. After separation from other components, the core can penetrate into various protective materials. This invention aims to penetrate protective materials by concentrating kinetic energy in the core. However, this can only serve one type of task, there is no interchangeable structure for different tasks. On the other hand, it is insufficient to control the effect on the target.

[0008] These disadvantages have led to the need for the development of mission- and operation-oriented ammunition, and require the design of customizable, multi-purpose and effective ammunition systems. As a result, the need for a special mission projectile that eliminates the disadvantages of the existing technique and the inadequacy of existing solutions necessitated a development in the relevant technical field.

[0010] The present invention relates to a special mission projectile which meets the above requirements, eliminates all disadvantages and brings some additional advantages, such as a single ball filled with multiple, less strong metals (e.g. copper, brass, lead) or softer materials such as rubber, and offers customizable filling for various missions such as drone shoot down, ambush, raid and infiltration attempts.

[0011] The primary aim of the present invention is based on the state of the art, is to provide a special mission projectile designed to be used in pistols, rifles or heavy machine guns of any caliber, containing balls made of metals with less strength than steel, such as copper, brass, lead, or softer materials such as rubber, with a filling method that can be customized for different types of tasks.The aim of the invention is to make it possible to easily fill balls of different sizes by increasing the diameter of the capsule ring.

[0012] A further aim of the invention is to provide a coating with a mixture of liquid glass and wood sawdust, so that the balls are stabilized during filling and are released smoothly at the exit of the barrel.

[0041] Detailed Description of the Invention

[0042] In this detailed description, the inventive special mission projectile (10), which is filled with a single ball (15) made of multiple metals with less strength than steel (e.g. copper, brass, lead) or made of a softer material such as rubber, and which offers customizable filling for various missions such asshooting down drones, ambushes, raids and evading infiltration attempts, is described only as an example for a better understanding of the subject matter and without any limiting effect.

[0043] The special mission projectile (10), shown in Figure-1, offers the possibility of filling suitable for different types of missions, and is designed to be compatible with pistols and rifles of all calibers. The said special mission projectile (10) is divided into three main parts: the projectile body (11), the capsule ring (12) and the capsule (13), together with the filling materials (such as mixture (14), balls (15) and gunpowder (16)). The special duty projectile (10) is produced as a single piece using the molding method, and thanks to its innovative design, it can be adapted to different filling types.

[0044] The projectile body (11), which is the main component of the special mission projectile (10) shown in Figure-2, constitutes the core structure that contains the filling materials comprises mixture (14), balls (15) and gunpowder (16). Its durability is increased and it is designed in such a way that filling operations can be performed easily. The capsule ring (12), which is inserted into the opening in the lower / rear part of the projectile body (11) where the trigger pin contacts to facilitate filling, provides an expanded structure in which the capsule (13) is inserted. Instead of the standard dimensions of 2 mm in diameter of the aforementioned capsule ring (12), the diameter has been enlarged to 5 mm to allow easy insertion of balls (15) made of metal material such as copper, brass or lead, or of softer material such as rubber or the like. The capsule (13), which is the part that provides ignition, is placed in the capsule ring (12). During ignition, the ignition of gunpowder (16) generates energy and initiates the operation of the special mission projectile (10). The filling material consists of elements that are placed inside the projectile body (11) and ensure the functionality of the special duty projectile (10). The filling material in question consists of balls (15) made of metal material with lower strength than steel or made of softer material such as rubber or similar, a mixture of liquid glass and wood sawdust poured over the balls (15), and gunpowder (16) added at the last stage. Balls (15) are parts used in projectile loading, made of metals with less strength than steel (copper, brass, lead etc.) or of softer materials such as rubber. The balls (15), when the special mission projectile (10) reaches the target, ensure outward propagation and create an effect in a large area. The mixture (14) of liquid glass and wood sawdust, which is filled on the balls (15), ensures that the balls (15) are fixed and positioned in an orderly manner. The gunpowder (16) is the explosive material that allows the balls (15) to be set in motion with the gas pressure generated during ignition. The projectile muzzle (17) positioned at the upper / front end of the projectile body (11) first exiting the barrel (20) controls the distribution of the balls (15) as they exit the barrel (20). The grooves (18) in the form of slits positioned in the aforementioned projectile nozzle (17), which facilitate the distribution of the balls (15) after firing, ensure that the balls (15) reach the target effectively.The special mission projectile (10) according to the invention is loaded in five successive stages. In the first filling stage shown in Figure-3, metal balls (15) are inserted into the empty projectile body (11), which is positioned with the projectile muzzle (17) facing downwards (towards the ground), through the capsule (13) cavity at the rear. In the second filling stage shown in Figure-4, a mixture of liquid glass and wood sawdust is filled on the balls (15) placed in the projectile body (11) with the projectile muzzle (17) facing downwards (to the ground) through the capsule (13) cavity located at the rear of the projectile body (11). In the third filling stage shown in Figure-5, after the mixture (14) has solidified, gunpowder (16) is inserted into the projectile body (11), which is positioned with the projectile muzzle (17) facing downwards (towards the ground), through the capsule (13) cavity at the rear. In the fourth filling stage shown in Figure-6, the capsule ring (12) is inserted into the capsule cavity at the rear of the projectile body (11), which is used for the insertion of all filling materials. In the fifth filling stage shown in Figure-7, the capsule (13) is placed on the capsule ring (12) with the help of a press and the rear part of the projectile body (11) is closed.

[0045] Prior to firing, the balls (15) are in a fixed position in the projectile muzzle (17) shown in figure-8a and figure-8b, and the channels (18) are closed. During the firing, the energy generated by the ignition of the gunpowder (16) opens the channels (18) in the projectile muzzle (17) shown in figure-9a and figure-9b and the balls (15) come out of the barrel (20). After the firing, the balls (15) move rapidly towards the target. At the exit of the barrel (20) shown in Figure-10, the channels (18) expand to increase the distribution of the balls (15). This design provides the advantage of effectively damaging and neutralizing the target over a large area.

[0046] The special mission projectile (10) of the invention offers an effective solution against moving targets such as drones, especially in symmetric and asymmetric warfare environments. The effective distribution of the balls (15) makes the mentioned special mission projectile (10) ideal for various missions.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, in the special mission projectile (10), instead of balls (15) made of a metal material such as copper, brass or lead, balls (15) made of a softer material such as rubber are used. Law Enforcement Forces (police, gendarmerie, coast guard, etc.) in many countries of the world generally operate in populated areas, cities, streets, etc. From time to time they have to use weapons in order to maintain public order. This can sometimes cause unintentional injuries or deaths. Rubber balls (15) prevent these unintentional injuries. During the filling phase, the special mission projectile (10) is filled with a single rubber ball (15) instead of a ball (15) made of copper or similar metal material. After a single ball (15) made of rubber material is filled into the projectile muzzle (17), mixture (14) and finally gunpowder (16) are filled.
