The series covers not only the operations of the Japanese armed forces during World War- II but also their operations in China and M4anchuria which preceded the world conflict. The original studies were written by former officers of the Japanese Army and Navy under the supervision of the Historical Rrecords Section of the First (Army) and Second (Navy) Demobilization Bureaus of the Japanese Govern aent. The manuscripts were translated by the ilitary Intelligence Service Group, G2, Headcuarters, Far East Commiiand. 1 tensive editing has ,been ac- colmplished by the Foreign Iistories Division of the Office of the Military History Officer, Headquarters, United States Aynj Japan. Monograph No. 68 is a report made 'by Lt Col. Tadataka Nu na- guchi of Army Technical: Ieadquarters and aij. Katsuji Akiyana of the Army Heavy Artillery..

  • The Development and Design of Bronze Ordnance, Sixteenth
    The Development and Design of Bronze Ordnance, Sixteenth through Nineteenth Centuries by Chuck Meide The College of William & Mary November 2002 The Development and Design of Bronze Ordnance, Sixteenth through Nineteenth Centuries Introduction 1 Evolution, 16th-19th Centuries 1 Typology 1 Bronze vs. Iron 8 Decline of Bronze Ordnance 10 Morphology 13 Nomenclature 13 Decoration 25 Composition 30 Conclusion 31 References 33 Introduction “Ordnance is the most accurate and acceptable generic term which embraces all those weapons of war which use an explosive charge to propel a missile in the direction of the enemy, and which are larger than those which can be used as personal arms” (Hughes 1969: 1). The technical development and unreserved application of cannon (a term which in its modern sense encompasses all of the types mentioned below) played a key role in European expansion and colonial hegemony (cf. Cipolla 1965). Ordnance remains, therefore, are of great interest to archaeologists studying this process, or that of technological change in general. In addition, ordnance—and especially bronze as opposed to iron pieces—usually proves the most diagnostic artifacts found on a shipwreck or military site. This study is an overview of the history of the development, design, and manufacture of bronze muzzle-loading ordnance, which were widely used by the world’s military forces from the 16th to mid-19th centuries. Discussion is limited for the most part to guns (what are usually termed cannon), but also to mortars, howitzers, and to a lesser degree types such as the carronade and swivel gun. Evolution, 16th-19th Centuries Typology Cannon of the 16th century inherited a medieval system of naming and classification.

  • Residual Dinitrotoluenes from Open Burning of Gun Propellant
    Chapter 21 Residual Dinitrotoluenes from Open Burning of Gun Propellant Emmanuela Diaz,* Sylvie Brochu, Isabelle Poulin, Dominic Faucher, André Marois, and Annie Gagnon Energetic Materials Section, Defence Research and Development Canada-Valcartier, 2459 Pie-XI Blvd North, Quebec (Qc) G3J 1X5, Canada *[email protected] Following military live fire artillery training, excess propellant bags are routinely open-burned at the firing site. Combustion of these propellants are typically incomplete under these conditions in the field, resulting in residues deposited on the soil surface, such as nitroglycerine and dinitrotoluenes. To better assess the amount of contaminants released during this process, burning tests were conducted with propellant bags from 105- and 155-mm munitions used for howitzer guns. Three different “activities” or burning tests were performed to achieve this study, which are described here. Residual 2,4- and 2,6-dinitrotoluene (DNTs) were analysed in all collected samples. Downloaded by Brian Salvatore on January 4, 2015 | http://pubs.acs.org Publication Date (Web): November 21, 2011 | doi: 10.1021/bk-2011-1069.ch021 Introduction At the end of most military exercises involving large caliber ammunition, such as 105- and 155-mm howitzers, trainees are usually left with a surplus quantity of unused gun propellant. Propellant charges for various large caliber ammunition are supplied in bags of known propellant quantity, from which a certain number are chosen for selective targeting at various distances. Propellant bags not used during the training exercise are destroyed on-site by open burning. For example, the firing of 30,000 rounds of 105-mm ammunition results in the burning of approximately 20,000 kg of single base propellant.

  • Wear and Erosion in Large Caliber Gun Barrels
    UNCLASSIFIED/UNLIMITED Wear and Erosion in Large Caliber Gun Barrels Richard G. Hasenbein Weapon Systems & Technology Directorate Armament Engineering & Technology Center U.S. Army Armament Research, Development & Engineering Center Mailing Address: Benét Laboratories Watervliet Arsenal Watervliet NY 12189-4050 [email protected] PREFACE “Wear and erosion” is one of several failure mechanisms that can cause large caliber Gun Barrels to be condemned and removed from service. This paper describes the phenomenon, its causes and effects, methods that are used to passively manage it, and steps that are taken to actively mitigate it. 1.0 GUN BARRELS – BACKGROUND A large caliber Cannon (Figure 1) is a pressure vessel whose primary function is to accurately fire projectiles at high velocities towards a target. Figure 1: Representative Large Caliber Cannon At its simplest, a Cannon consists of two major sub-assemblies: • “Gun Barrel”: a long, slender Tube that serves multiple functions such as safely containing high pressure combustion gases and providing a means for aiming/guiding the projectile in the intended direction; • “Breech”: an assembly that seals off the rear of the Gun Barrel during firing, but which can be quickly opened to allow loading of ammunition. It also contains a device used to initiate the combustion process. Paper presented at the RTO AVT Specialists’ Meeting on “The Control and Reduction of Wear in Military Platforms”, held in Williamsburg, USA, 7-9 June 2003, and published in RTO-MP-AVT-109. RTO-MP-AVT-109 16 - 1 UNCLASSIFIED/UNLIMITED UNCLASSIFIED/UNLIMITED Wear and Erosion in Large Caliber Gun Barrels 1.1 GUN BARREL INTERNAL GEOMETRY Internally, a Gun Barrel often features three distinct regions (Figure 2): • “bore”: a long cylindrical hole machined to exacting tolerances for diameter, axial straightness, and surrounding wall thickness; • “combustion chamber”: a much shorter hole at the breech-end of the Gun Barrel that is coaxial with the bore and has a slightly larger diameter.
