Abstract
A binary exploding target package, a process of forming an exploding target from the contents of the binary exploding target package, and the exploding target formed therefrom. The binary exploding target package includes a first, target container and a second container. An oxidizer composition is contained within one of the containers and a catalyst composition is contained within the other container. An exploding target is formed by mixing the oxidizer and catalyst compositions, and introducing the mixture into the target container to form an exploding target just prior to using the exploding target as a target for a shooting exercise.
Claims42
A binary exploding target package, said package including:
- a first, target container and a second container;
- one of said first and second containers containing an oxidizer composition, and the other of said first and second containers containing a catalyst composition;
- said oxidizer composition including ammonium nitrate in an amount between about 50% and 100% by weight, and ammonium perchlorate in an amount between 0% and about 50% by weight;
- said catalyst composition including aluminum powder and minor amounts of titanium sponge and zirconium hydride;
- said target container being sized to receive a mixture comprised of all of said oxidizer composition and all of said catalyst composition.
A binary exploding target comprising:
- a target container containing an oxidizer composition, said oxidizer composition including ammonium nitrate in an amount between about 50% and 100% by weight and ammonium perchlorate in an amount between 0% and about 50% by weight;
- and
- a catalyst composition, said catalyst composition including aluminum powder and minor amounts of titanium sponge and zirconium hydride.
The A process of forming an exploding a target comprising:
- upon contact with a hydrostatic shock from a rifle round equivalent to that generated by a center fire rifle round impacting said target
- selecting a first, target container and a second container;
- storing wherein an oxidizer composition is contained within one of said a first, target container and a second containers container and a catalyst composition is contained within the other container;
- said oxidizer composition including ammonium nitrate in an amount between about 50% and 100% by weight and ammonium perchlorate in an amount between 0% and about 50% by weight;
- said catalyst composition including aluminum powder and minor amounts of titanium sponge and zirconium hydride;:
- said process comprising,
- transporting said first and second containers to a location to be used for a shooting exercise;
- mixing said oxidizer composition and said catalyst composition together to form an oxidizer/catalyst mixture;
- and
- introducing said oxidizer/catalyst mixture into said target container to form an exploding in said target container to form the target,
- firing a center fire rifle round into the target thereby causing an explosion of the oxidizer/catalyst mixture.
A process of exploding a target upon contact with a hydrostatic shock from a rifle round equivalent to that generated by a center fire rifle round impacting said target:
- wherein an oxidizer composition is contained within one of a first container and a second container and a catalyst composition is contained within the other container:
- said process comprising,
- transporting said first and second containers to a location to be used for a shooting exercise;
- mixing said oxidizer composition and said catalyst composition together to form an oxidizer/catalyst mixture in a target container to form the target adapted to explode upon being subjected to the hydrostatic shock from the rifle round equivalent to that generated by the center fire rifle round impacting said target,
- wherein said target is the target container containing the oxidizer/catalyst mixture,
- firing a center fire rifle round into the target thereby causing an explosion of the oxidizer/catalyst mixture.
A process of exploding a target upon contact with a hydrostatic shock from a rifle round impacting said target:
- wherein an oxidizer composition is contained within one of a first container and a second container and a catalyst composition is contained within the other container:
- said process comprising,
- transporting said first and second containers to a location to be used for a shooting exercise;
- mixing said oxidizer composition and said catalyst composition together to form an oxidizer/catalyst mixture in a target container to form the target adapted to explode upon being subjected to the hydrostatic shock from the rifle round impacting said target,
- wherein said target is the target container containing the oxidizer/catalyst mixture, firing a rifle round into the target thereby causing an explosion of the oxidizer/catalyst mixture.
