PROJECTILE WITH ARROW-LIKE DESTRUCTION COMPONENTS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: projectiles with arrow-like destruction components propelled forward in the direction of projectile motion. SUBSTANCE: projectile has a body, propelled block of arrow-like components, propellant powder charge, diaphragm, head cap with a time fuze and a central tube with an explosive charge, retarder and detonator secured with its rear end in the projectile bottom. After ejection of the arrow-like components from the body the central tube charge is blasted, as a result, the central tube gets expanded and strikes from inside the projectile body causing its destruction. To enhance fragmentation, the body is made of silicon spring steel 60C2. To enhance the slip in the tube, the block of arrow-like components may be made with a lining or placed in a detachable magazine. The bottom assembly for time fuze setting has a jettisonable cover and a gas-driven device for its separation. EFFECT: enhanced effect. 20 cl, 8 dwg
