Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of the arms industry and metallurgy, and also to the fields of materials engineering and chemical engineering. More specifically, the present invention refers to a novel ammunition cartridge comprising reinforced polymer and the manufacturing process thereof. The ammunition cartridge serves for receiving the gunpowder so that explosions can occur inside the weapon barrel. The technology proposed reduces the quantity of components to be pre-manufactured and assembly processes on the product, producing a full cartridge, directly upon injecting the thermoplastic, and can also use bi-component injection. With this, the portion of the collar ring can be made entirely of fiber-reinforced polymer material, which reduces the weight of the item and is beneficial for the useful life of the weapon in the bolt region.

Abstract: A cartridge incorporating a projectile assembly, the projectile assembly having a base, mid body component housing a marking powder and metallic nose cap. The projectile's mid-body component houses liquids in a cylindrical compartment, where set-back and rotation induce chemical mixing, and in flight allowing for a chemical reaction, and at impact the projectile undergoes wall failure in the mid body, resulting from shear and residual rotational momentum, the actions in combination releasing and expelling marking materials, the ejection suspended signature producing materials, including liquid, powdered metals or fine particles released into the atmosphere emit and reflect light, the signature materials producing an observable signature at the projectile's impact location.

Abstract: A cartridge incorporating a projectile assembly, the projectile assembly having a base, mid body component housing a marking powder and lighter metallic nose cap. The projectile's mid-body component undergoes wall failure at impact, the wall failure is induced as forward momentum of the base and other residual forces act to expel the marking powder from the projectile, the manner of ejection suspending a low density material with contrast dye, in the vicinity of the impact, providing a gunner with visual cue in regard to a projectile's impact location.
