They were made by impregnating porous combustible solids with liquid air shortly before firing the charge. Usually the combustibles, in some type of combustible cartridge, were soaked in liq air just before loading into the bore hole. Liq air expls were used extensively in 1899 in the driving of the Simplon tunnel between Italy and Switzerland... [Pg.578]

Combustible cartridge cases (CCCs) based on nitrocellulose (NC), cellulose, nitroguanidine etc. have been developed in India and are reported to be useful for 105 mm APDS and HESH tank gun ammunition, 120mm FSAPDS and HESH tank gun ammunition and 125 mm FSAPDS tank gun ammunition. India has also developed advanced CCCs based on resins likely to be useful for 155 mm howitzer (artillery gun) ammunition in addition to the above-mentioned ammunition. [Pg.44]

Ordnance practices, the term combustible cartridge case is referred to cases fabricated from fibrous NC and a binder. Such cases produce no residue when fired in a conventional artillery weapon system. The term consumable cartridge case has been reserved for cases prepd from combustible materials other than NC, such as woodpulp or paper impregnated with a phenolformaldehyde resin In each type of case, fungicides, flash reducing agents and gun erosion inhibitors can be incorporated... [Pg.204]

It seems that no work on combustible and consumable cartridge cases was done in US until after the Korean War. Gen Ghormley states in his paper published in 1962(Ref 15,p 233), that atxmt 10 years ago (i.e. 1952), the Army Ordnance Corps began to support a resear ch program on combustible cartridge cases, which was carried out at Picatinny Arsenal, Dover,...

Axelrod Mirko (Ref 20) describe a method of prepg cast combustible cartridge cases for artillery weapons. The method consists of thoroughly blending small grains of a singlebase artillery proplnt (such as M10, which is described in Vol 2, p C35, Table VII of this... [Pg.204]

The work on cast combustible cases was discontinuedfprobably in 1962), because the Combustible Cartridge Case Steering Committee decided to concentrate all efforts on the felted NC type of cases(Ref 20, p4)... [Pg.205]

The formulations for felted combustible cartridge cases, developed by Armor Research Foundation and described in Ref 23,p 20, contained some fungicides, as for example copper pentachlorophenate. One of the compns contg this fungicide consisted of Kraft fiber 40.8, NC 40.8, resin + DPhA 17.4 Cu pentachlorophenate, 2%... [Pg.205]

Axelrod(Ref 24) described two formulations of combustible cartridge cases prepd from felted NC combined with other ingredients. These cases were developed by the Armor Research Foundation, Chicago, Illinois. The 1st type, designated as XM-156 and intended for use in M68 105 mm Gun consisted of NC (12.3%N) 38, Northern Kraft fiber (bleached)... [Pg.205]

As the breech mechanisms of present guns are not designed to achieve complete sealing off the gases of combustion(complete obturation), the base of combustible cartridges should be made of a non-combustible material. This material can be either metal(brass or steel) or a noncombustible plastic. Obturators prepd from polyethylene are described in Ref 13-Cartridges prepd by these methods are known as partially combustible(Rei 15)... [Pg.206]

Because the manuf of combustible cartridges requires the construction of a NC plant and because handling of dry NC is rather dangerous, the Army Ordnance Corps contracted Armour Research Foundation and some other organizations to develop an entirely combustible cartridge prepd from materials not contg NC.

The same type of obturation as used for combustible cartridges is suitable for consumable cartridges... [Pg.206]

In the new technique developed at PicArsn by R.P.Kiley, C. Stephens J.H. Veltman under the direction of Dr. J.P. Picard, the entire process is conducted in a water slurry which renders the operation less costly and dangerous than the older method. The manuf of combustible cartridges by this process is practically a one-step operation(Ref 27). Detailed description of new method is given in Refs 28 29... [Pg.206]

The modern cartridge evolved over this period to a very high standard of reliability. Ironically, serious attempts by reputable large munitions companies are now being made to perfect a completely combustible cartridge and/or caseless ammunition which would be suitable for use in modern firearms.28... [Pg.27]

Current trends in firearms and ammunition are toward lighter and easier to carry firearms and ammunition. These include the use of various plastics in the manufacture of firearms and some large, well-known manufacturers are experimenting with the development of caseless ammunition (combustible cartridge cases and primers) which, if viable, will involve major design changes in the mechanism of firearms.
