Abstract
A rocket propelled bullet assembly for increasing the effective range of a gun includes a shell casing that is positioned in a chamber of a gun and the shell casing has an open end. A first propellant is contained in the shell casing and the first propellant is ignited when the gun is fired. A bullet is positioned in the open end of the shell casing. The bullet is fired from the shell casing when the first propellant is ignited and the bullet is projected from the gun. A rocket unit is integrated into the bullet and the rocket unit fires when the bullet is fired from the shell casing. The rocket unit increases a velocity of the bullet when the bullet is traveling thereby increasing a range of the bullet.
Claims8
A rocket propelled bullet assembly being configured to be fired from a projectile based gun, said assembly comprising:
- a shell casing being configured to be positioned in a chamber of a gun, said shell casing having an open end;
- a first propellant being contained in said shell casing wherein said first propellant is configured to be ignited when the gun is fired;
- a bullet being positioned in said open end of said shell casing, said bullet being fired from said shell casing when said first propellant is ignited wherein said bullet is configured to be projected from the gun;
- and
- a rocket unit being integrated into said bullet, said rocket unit firing when said bullet is fired from said shell casing, said rocket unit increasing a velocity of said bullet when said bullet is traveling thereby increasing a range of and impact energy of said bullet.
A rocket propelled bullet assembly being configured to be fired from a projectile based gun, said assembly comprising:
- a shell casing being configured to be positioned in a chamber of a gun, said shell casing having an open end;
- a first propellant being contained in said shell casing wherein said first propellant is configured to be ignited when the gun is fired;
- a bullet being positioned in said open end of said shell casing, said bullet being fired from said shell casing when said first propellant is ignited wherein said bullet is configured to be projected from the gun, said bullet having a first end, said open end of said shell casing insertably receiving said first end, said bullet having a chamber therein, said first end having a well extending toward said chamber to define a nozzle, said bullet having a conduit extending between said chamber and said well such that said well is in fluid communication with said chamber;
- and
- a rocket unit being integrated into said bullet, said rocket unit firing when said bullet is fired from said shell casing, said rocket unit increasing a velocity of said bullet when said bullet is traveling thereby increasing a range and impact energy of said bullet, said rocket unit comprising:
- a second propellant being positioned in said chamber;
- an igniter being positioned in said well, said igniter igniting said second propellant when said bullet is fired from said shell casing;
- and
- an accelerometer being positioned within said bullet, said accelerometer being electrically coupled to said igniter, said accelerometer turning said igniter on when said accelerometer detects that said bullet has exceeded a trigger velocity.
