102514000 | Having jacket | 13 |
20100024676 | Structural metallic binders for reactive fragmentation weapons - A munition is described including a reactive fragment having an energetic material dispersed in a metallic binder material. A method is also described including forming a energetic material; combining the energetic material with a metallic binder material to form a mixture; and shaping the mixture to form a reactive fragment. The munition may be in the form of a warhead, and the reactive fragment may be contained within a casing of the warhead. | 02-04-2010 |
20110056404 | Jacketed Bullet with Bonded Core - A jacketed bullet comprising a dense core of a first material substantially surrounded by and bonded to a jacket of a second material, wherein the thickness of the jacket varies. | 03-10-2011 |
20120180690 | FULL METAL JACKET BULLETS WITH IMPROVED LETHALITY - An improved pistol bullet comprises a jacket having a generally cylindrical body portion and a tapering nose portion; a first material disposed in the tapering nose portion of the jacket, and a second material, having a higher density than the first material, disposed in the jacket behind the first material. | 07-19-2012 |
20120216700 | TIPPED PROJECTILES - A projectile is provided with a projectile tip having enhanced aerodynamic properties to improve accuracy of the projectile. The tip has a body having a base or lower end, an upper end and a curved, side wall between its upper and lower ends that defines an ogive tip length. The tip is received with a projectile jacket and also can have a series of aerodynamic features formed in its body to modify air flow about the body of the projectile in flight. | 08-30-2012 |
20140202351 | HOLLOW-CHANNEL PROJECTILE NOSE AND SHAPING OF A PROJECTILE BODY IN THE NOSE REGION - The invention relates to a projectile having a cylindrical hole ( | 07-24-2014 |
20140230684 | CHARGED PROJECTILES AND RELATED ASSEMBLIES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Charged projectile assemblies include a housing and an electronic assembly configured to produce an electric field about at least a portion of the housing of the projectile. Cartridge assemblies for use with firearms include charged projectiles. Methods of charging a projectile include forming an electric field about at least a portion of a projectile and extending the electric field at least partially between a forward portion of the projectile and an aft portion of the projectile. | 08-21-2014 |
20140326157 | JACKETED BULLET - A jacketed bullet having a penetrator constructed of a hard material in line with a slug having a lower modulus. At least a portion of both the slug and the penetrator are then encased by a metal jacket. A plurality of circumferentially spaced and axially extending flutes are formed along the slug and possibly the penetrator. These flutes receive deformation of the jacket upon firing of the bullet into a rifled gun bore to thereby reduce friction between the bullet and the gun bore during operation. | 11-06-2014 |
20150107481 | JACKETED BULLET AND HIGH-SPEED METHOD OF MANUFACTURING JACKETED BULLETS - A jacketed bullet and high-speed method of manufacturing jacketed bullets are provided. The method includes the steps of providing tubing and inserting a wire into the tubing to form composite tubular stock. The inner surface of the tubing is bonded to the outer surface of the inserted wire to form bonded tubular stock. After the bonding step, an inner diameter of the tubing is substantially equal to the wire diameter such that, when viewed in section, the wire completely fills the tubing. After the bonding step, the bonded tubular stock is cut to form work-pieces of a desired length. The workpieces are then warm or cold forged to form jacketed bullets. | 04-23-2015 |
20150144019 | LEAD-FREE AMMUNITION FOR SMALL-BORE WEAPONS - The invention relates to a lead-free projectile ( | 05-28-2015 |
20160097619 | Cartridge and Bullet with Controlled Expansion - A bullet or a cartridge containing a bullet having an elongated body with a forward end and an opposed rear end. The body has an intermediate cylindrical portion between the rear and forward ends, and the front end of the body defines a cavity. A resilient nose element is received in the cavity. The nose element may be an elastomer, and may be a cylindrical body. The cavity may be a cylindrical bore, and the nose element may be closely encompassed within the bore. The forward end of the nose element may be flat, and may be flush with the forward end of the body. | 04-07-2016 |
102515000 | Nonmetallic | 1 |
20140076190 | OPEN CHAMBER AMMUNITION - Aspects described herein relate to an ammunition round for an open chamber gun mechanism is provided, the round comprising a housing having a triangular shaped cross section and a central longitudinal axis, the housing including at least one projectile positioned along the central longitudinal axis, a propellant positioned behind the at least one projectile along the central longitudinal axis, a first sealed end located at a first end of the housing nearest the propellant, and a second sealed end positioned at a second end of the housing in front of the projectile, wherein the second sealed end is configured to become unsealed after firing of the projectile. | 03-20-2014 |
102516000 | Composite | 2 |
20120067245 | BULLET - A bullet having a jacket, having a rear section, and a front section, having an open front end; a rear core disposed in the rear section of the jacket and bonded thereto; and a front core, separate from the rear core, disposed in the front section of the jacket, adjacent the open front end. The front section of the jacket can expand after impact with the target and release the front core to form an initial volume of disruption, while the rear core and at least the rear section of the jacket penetrate, past the initial volume of disruption. | 03-22-2012 |
20120227615 | Traceable Solid Core Projectile - A solid projectile useful in a round of gun ammunition wherein, upon striking a target, the projectile selectively disintegrates, leaving intact at least one portion or appurtenance of the projectile which is recoverable for purpose of identification of rifling markings thereon and/or other analysis. | 09-13-2012 |
