BALLISTIC UNIT WITH SPLITTER Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC F41F1/00 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: proposed ballistic unit has its evacuated barrel muzzle face communicated with cylinder-conic adapter. Note here that conic adapter inlet cylinder receives plastic, e.g. polyethylene, buffer with inner bore diametre exceeding caliber of fired round. Fired round sabot represents two cups: outer cup made from plastic material (polyethylene, caprolan etc) and inner cup made from strong thermosoftening plastic material (phenylon, graphylon, polycarbonate) or light alloy with high specific strength (B-95, MA-4, "Д16-Т"). At high velocity of fired round, annular damper made from gradient or homogeneous material, for example porous copper, can be arranged between said plastic buffer. Note here that damper inner channel features taper section.

EFFECT: reduced length of ballistic unit.
