Publication number: 20230366661Abstract: A cartridge case for ammunition may include a rotationally shaped case jacket for receiving a projectile and an annular base piece for receiving a primer and the case jacket. An annular wall of the base piece on the side of the case jacket is conically shaped at least in sections with respect to its axis of rotation. A retaining section of the case jacket on the side of the base piece is adapted in shape thereto so that the retaining section engages at least in sections behind the annular wall for fastening the case jacket and the base piece to one another. A distancing of the base piece and case jacket from each other may be prevented in the direction of the axis of rotation. The conical annular wall and the retaining section may be formed by plastic deformation of the base piece.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2021Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: RUAG Ammotec AGInventors: Peter Biedermann, Peter Spatz

Patent number: 11199386Abstract: The invention relates to a Pb-free deforming/partially fragmenting projectile with a projectile body. In order to improve the killing effect of the projectile, the projectile has a fragmenting core according to the invention. The projectile body is equipped with a bore which is arranged on the longitudinal axis, extends from the tip of the projectile body, and extends into the interior, and the projectile body tip, which faces away from the projectile base has a bevel which extends from the outer circumference of the projectile body to the bore and runs at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis. The fragmenting core has a cylindrical part and a head part. The cylindrical part is arranged in the bore, and the head part protrudes out of the bore and has a support surface which is adapted to the bevel in the projectile body and together with the support surface rests on the bevel of the projectile body. The head part has a rounded tip which forms the tip of the projectile.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2015Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: RUAG AMMOTEC AGInventor: Heinz Riess

Patent number: 10976143Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2018Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: RUAG Ammotec AGInventor: Michael Muster

Patent number: 10451392Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2016Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: RUAG Ammotec AGInventors: Michael Muster, Donald Meyer, Peter Spatz
