AMMUNITION Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: blasting operations, in particular, ammunitions used for piercing of complicated obstacles.

SUBSTANCE: the ammunition body accommodates the leading and main shaped charges, with a blasting device of the leading shaped charge and an additional shell-forming charge detonatinally coupled to the leading shaped charge installed between them, the facing of the additional shell-forming charge is positioned on the side of the main shaped charge with possibility of transmission of an initiating impulse to the blasting device of the main shaped charge by the shell formed of the facing material during the preset time delay through the axial duct made in the main shaped charge. The mass of the explosive of the additional shell-forming charge (mch) and distance L between the base of the facing of the additional shell-forming charge and the blasting device of the main charge is selected from the following relations: mch=1/500...1200 mch, L=1.25...2.5Dch, where mch, Dch - the mass and the diameter of the main charge.

EFFECT: enhanced reliability of ammunition actuation by changing the construction of the detonation circuit and enhanced armor piercing by improvement of the conditions of formation of the main charge cumulative jet, simplified construction and enhanced adaptability to assembly.
