  • Lightweight molded cartridge case and nozzle assembly for recoilless launch systems
    Patent number: 5216194
    Abstract: A cartridge case and nozzle assembly is made from a single element of a lightweight durable polymer resin. The cartridge case and nozzle insert into a launch tube of an anti-armor projectile launcher and have improved adhesive connection to reduce relative movement between the assembly and the launch tube.
