AMMUNITION Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: ammunition with fluid filling, applicable in development of various ammunition of salvo-fire jet-propelled systems, high-explosive ones inclusive. SUBSTANCE: the ammunition has a body, fluid filler and an envelope with a propellant charge. The density of the fluid filler makes up 0.1 to 0.7 of the envelope density, and the diameter, thickness of the envelope and the length of the propellant charge are selected from relations , where d_em - the envelope diameter, t_em - the envelope thickness, D - the body diameter, T - the body thickness, 1_ch- the length of the propellant charge, L_b - the body length. A net of grooves may be made on the envelope and on the body. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of fragmentation by 2.0-3.0 times due to adjustable breaking of the body and envelope, enhanced degree of breaking of the fluid filter, and as a result, enhanced efficiency of fragmentation and high-explosive effect of the ammunition on the target. 4 dwg
