Pyrotechnic slug

2:

• The slug, in its form as described in claim 1, is intended for use by bomb squads to neutralize explosive devices containing standard high explosives such as:
• PETN, RDX, TNT, etc., by penetrating the explosive and exploding inside it, breaking up and scattering the explosive material and neutralizing its firing system.

3:

• The slug, in its form as described in claim 1, is intended to penetrate and tear large packages, such as:
• suitcases and valises, crates and boxes, etc. to open them and expose their contents.

4:

• The slug described in claim 1 can serve special forces in their handling of terrorist attacks:
• breaking down of doors, penetration of doors and windows into a room and stunning its occupants, etc.

5:

• The slug described in claim 1 is fired from a barrel by means of a cartridge.

6:

• The cartridge described in claim 5 contains propellant material.

7:

• The propellant material mentioned in claim 6 is initiated with a firing pin or an electric igniter.

8:

• The slug described in claim 1 may contain an independent movement system (rocket motor) (13).

9:

• The rocket motor described in claim 8 is part of the base plug of the slug.

10:

• The rocket motor described in claim 8 contains a mixture or chemical compound of propellant materials.

11:

• At the base of the rocket motor mentioned in claim 10 is an exhaust nozzle.

12:

• The rocket motor mentioned in claim 10 is initiated by means of an electric igniter.

13:

• The slug described in claim 1 can be adapted to any diameter barrel and to any dismantling apparatus available to bomb squads around the world.

14:

• An additional version of the pyrotechnic slug described in claim 1 is the unified slug.

15:

• The unified slug described in claim 14 contains a pyrotechnic slug within a casing.

16:

• The casing mentioned in claim 15 is constructed of metal, plastic or a combination of both.

17:

• The casing mentioned in claim 15 has a diameter matching the dismantling apparatus available to bomb units.

18:

• The casing mentioned in claim 15 contains propellant material.

19:

• The propellant material mentioned in claim 18 is initiated by means of a mechanical cap or an electric igniter.

20:

• The slug described in claim 1 can be fired from a range of distances from the target. At ranges larger than the target itself, a laser or similar weapon sight may be used.

21:

• The pyrotechnic mixture found inside the slug described in claim 1 creates a pressure effect and localized shattering.

22:

• The energy created by the explosion of the pyrotechnic mixture mentioned in claim 21 does not cause the initiation of standard explosive materials mentioned in claim 2.

23:

• The pyrotechnic mixture mentioned in claim 21 may be replaced with mixtures/chemical compounds of different types, in accordance with the desired mission.

24:

• The front portion of the slug described in claim 1 is adapted for penetration of packages with different levels of penetration difficulty and is manufactured in a number of forms:
• flat, conical, sharply slanted or double-slanted, in accordance with requirements.

25:

• The operating system of the pyrotechnic slug described in claim 1 is versatile and may be replaced by various operational systems, such as a pyrotechnic delay system, electronic delay system/ piezoelectric source.

26:

• The pyrotechnic delay system mentioned in claim 25 is located inside the plug base.

27:

• The pyrotechnic delay system mentioned in claim 25 is located inside one or more drillings.

28:

• The pyrotechnic delay system mentioned in claim 25 is comprised of one or more components.

29:

• The drilling mentioned in claim 27 lies along the length of the plug base.

30:

• At the top of the base plug mentioned in claim 26 is an ignition pellet made of a mixture of pyrotechnic materials.

31:

• The pyrotechnic mixture mentioned in claim 30 is ignited as a result of operation of the cartridge mentioned in claim 5.
