Abstract
A method of achieving controlled, variable ballistic dispersion in an automatic weapon is disclosed includes providing a plurality of cartridges, where each cartridge has a case and a projectile partially inserted into a mouth of the case forming a circumferential joint between the projectile and the mouth of the cartridge and held therein at a different pull strength. The method also includes providing a plurality of adhesive sealants, where each adhesive sealant of the plurality of adhesive sealants sets a design bullet pull strength that is different from each other adhesive sealant.
Claims20
A method of achieving variable ballistic dispersion from an automatic weapon, the method comprising:
- assembling a plurality of ammunition cartridges such that each of the plurality of ammunition cartridges has a different respective predetermined pull strength;
- packaging the plurality of ammunition cartridges into a group for firing sequentially from an automatic weapon.
A method of achieving variable ballistic dispersion from an automatic weapon, the method comprising:
- passing a plurality of ammunition cartridges along a production line with at least first and second portions of the plurality of ammunition cartridges having respective adhesive sealants applied to respective circumferential joints between respective case mouths and respective projectiles thereof;
- wherein the respective adhesive sealants are formulated with different adhesive properties such that the first and second portions of the plurality of ammunition cartridges will have different respective predetermined pull strengths.
A group of ammunition cartridges arranged for firing sequentially from an automatic weapon, the group comprising:
- a first ammunition cartridge having a first predetermined pull strength of a first circumferential joint between a first case mouth and a first projectile;
- and
- a second ammunition cartridge having a second predetermined pull strength of a second circumferential joint between a second case mouth and a second projectile, the first and second predetermined pull strengths being different.
