I MAKE the year 18G3 the starting point for two reasons :- 1. Because it was just the close of the muzzle-loading pcriod. 2. Because it was in that year that I became personally acquainted with the Service rifle, since which time I have continually kept up my acquaintancewith thcService small-arms, making all kinds of experirncnts; and for the last sixteen years my duty has been to inspect and tcst the various arms during their mannractnre, after they are finished before issue, and again when in use in the hands of the troops. -
Optimization of Production Process of Frangible Bullets Based on Bismuth Powder
Advances in Military Technology Vol. 14, No. 2 (2019), pp. 189-196 AiMT ISSN 1802-2308, eISSN 2533-4123 DOI 10.3849/aimt.01224 Optimization of Production Process of Frangible Bullets Based on Bismuth Powder V. Minh Do 1, X. Son Bui 1*, J. Komenda 2, R. Vítek 2 and P. Skalický2 1 Faculty of Weapons, Le Quy Don Technical University, Hanoi, Vietnam 2 Faculty of Military Technology, University of Defence in Brno, Czech Republic The manuscript was received on 29 November 2017 and was accepted after revision for publication on 20 June 2019. Abstract: The article deals with the pressing process of the samples from bismuth powder, which were used in place of the bullet in order to optimize the frangible bullets manufacturing process. Cylindrical samples with a diameter of 9 mm were compacted by cold pressing in a cylindrical rigid die without sintering. Various pressing conditions (the changing of pressing force, pressing velocity and dwell time) were applied for compacting the sam- ples. After compaction, the axial strength of the samples was tested to determine the optimal manufacturing process of the frangible bullet based on the bismuth powders. Keywords: bismuth, frangible bullet, green strength, green density, powder metallurgy, pressing force, pressing velocity 1. Introduction Powder metallurgy technology is also used in manufacturing the ammunition for fire- arms. In the commercial frangible cartridges, the frangible bullets are made of various kinds of metal powder, e.g. Cu, Fe, W, etc., where Cu is the most widespread. These metals are less ecologically harmful than lead. However, iron and copper easily cor- rode in water-rich tissues, whereas copper is toxic at high concentration in the body. -
International Military Cartridge Rifles and Bayonets
INTERNATIONAL MILITARY CARTRIDGE RIFLES AND BAYONETS The following table lists the most common international military rifles, their chambering, along with the most common bayonet types used with each. This list is not exhaustive, but is intended as a quick reference that covers the types most commonly encountered by today’s collectors. A Note Regarding Nomenclature: The blade configuration is listed, in parentheses, following the type. There is no precise dividing line between what blade length constitutes a knife bayonet vs. a sword bayonet. Blades 10-inches or shorter are typically considered knife bayonets. Blades over 12-inches are typically considered sword bayonets. Within the 10-12 inch range, terms are not consistently applied. For purposes of this chart, I have designated any blade over 12 inches as a sword bayonet.
