Abstract

A non-lethal marking projectile is disclosed. The marking projectile includes a frangible polymeric shell that has an interior cavity and is configured to engage rifling in a barrel so that the marking projectile spins when fired through the barrel. The marking projectile further includes a non-aqueous shear-thinning marking composition within the interior cavity of the polymeric shell. The marking composition comprises an organic solvent, a thickener, a surfactant, and an optional colorant. The marking composition is stable over time and across a wide range of operating conditions. A non-lethal firearm cartridge is also provided and comprises the marking projectile disposed in the mouth of a casing, and a propelling system adapted to expel the projectile from the casing and through a barrel when fired from a firearm.

A reinforcing cap includes a base, a sidewall extending from the base and surrounding the first end portion such that the first edge of the shell abuts an inner face of the base, and a projection extending from the inner face. A ring is pressed against the inner face and forms an air-tight seal between the projection, the inner face, the ring, and the first end portion of the shell. A plurality of indentations form protrusions in the sidewall and the first end portion for interlocking the reinforcing cap to the shell and retaining the ring against the inner face of the base.

Abstract

The present device disclosed is a reduced energy training cartridge for use in a straight blowback operated firearm. Prior art reduced energy ammunition casings are often made with brass. However, brass is relatively expensive for reduced energy cartridge case applications. Thus, there exists a need for a reduced energy training round which employs inexpensive materials while simultaneously providing a simple and robust design which can easily be manufacture on a large scale. The present device comprises a barrel with firing chamber, the cartridge comprising a cartridge case (20) being defined by a rear portion (21 ) with an external groove (22), a front portion having a velocity reduction structure (30) and a wall with an outer surface and an inner surface, a sabot (50) slideably engaged within the cartridge case, the sabot having a rear portion (56) with an outside diameter substantially equal to the inside diameter of the inner surface of the cartridge case and which contains a gas sealing ( 51 ) and braking structure and a primer (40) disposed in the rear portion of the cartridge case where, upon percussion of the primer, the cartridge case rapidly slides relative to the sabot until such point when the velocity reduction structure of the cartridge case engages with the sealing and braking structure of the sabot, thereby stopping further movement of the cartridge case relative to the sabot. The present device also contemplates using a metallic case in combination with a non-metallic or polymer sabot.

Propellant compositions are provided herein for use in small arms cartridges. Such propellant compositions include from about 70 to about 90% by weight of a cellulose-based organic fuel, from about 5 to about 30% by weight of a non-azide, nitrogen-containing primary organic oxidizer and from about 0.5 to about 10.0% by weight of a secondary nitrate, perchlorate, chlorate or peroxide oxidizer. Preferably, such compositions are in the form of extruded shaped hollow cylindrical grains having a length in the range of 0.030 to 0.200 inch, a diameter in the range 0.040 to 0.070 inch, and having a coaxial opening there through having a wall grain thickness in the range 0.008 to 0.016 inch. Ignition grains are also provided for use alone or in a mixture with the propellant compositions. When used in a small caliber firearm or muzzleloader, the temperature of combustion is at a level that ensures substantially complete combustion of the fuel during firing so that the products of combustion are mostly gaseous.

Abstract

A primer composition with reduced toxicity suited for reduced-energy ammunition comprises bismuth (III) oxide as the principal oxidizer and contains a portion of propellant composition mixed therein. This composition may also be used in a cartridge which is otherwise substantially free of any other propellant compound and preferably produces a residue which is substantially free of toxic substances.
