A three component bullet with an improved core retention feature and a method of manufacturing the bullet includes a cylindrical jacket having an open end and a closed end containing a malleable metal core which is forced into a forming die having a bottleneck shaped interior, wherein the outside diameter of the open-ended forward portion of the jacket is smaller than the outside diameter of its closed rearward portion. The open end of the pre-form may be dropped through or forced through a malleable non-rigid locking band. A relatively tight-fitting punch enters the open end of the pre-form, to radially swell the core and subsequently portions of the jacket fore and aft of the non-rigid locking band, thereby securing the non-rigid locking band in place. An inwardly-extending annular band of jacket material embeds itself into the core material to lock the core inside the jacket. |

The present invention refers to equipment, for the recharging firearm cartridges, having four modules that can operate jointly or separately. The equipment includes a calibrating press, that calibrates and removes a deflagrated fuse of the case through the movement of the piston tool ports and a washing turbine having a rotating nucleus that moves angularly between 90 and −90 degrees to facilitate loading, washing and discharging of the cases. The equipment also includes a fuse press for fuse assembly in the case, with automatic rejection of the defective cases through pneumatic auxiliary cylinders of high sensitivity. The press includes a case feeder system; a rotating disk; and a reservoir feeder of fuses. The press also includes a dosage press for the assembly and packing of the cartridges, with movements synchronized vertically, circular and lineal, with main cylinder and commanded by panel provided with commands for control of the gunpowder dosage. |

In a separable mortar round of the type having a central cartridge chamberithin the boom portion and provided with a plurality of flash holes extending outwardly of the chamber that improvement, which includes an adhesively bonded thin stainless steel foil disposed about the inner wall of the chamber and closing over the flash holes to provide increased liquid impermeability. The method of applying the aforesaid foil to the chamber wall by wrapping a foil on a hollow mandrel having a plurality of surface openings and applying a vacuum to said mandrel while simultaneously wrapping the foil thereabout. Coating both the foil and the inner chamber wall with an adhesive and inserting said mandrel into the separated boom for aligned disposition in the chamber. Thereafter gaseously sealing the mandrel in the chamber, releasing the vacuum, applying positive pressure to the mandrel and removing the same from the chamber.The invention described herein may be manufactured, used and licensed by or for the Government for governmental purposes without the payment to us of any royalty thereon. |
