Firing range

In an attempt to extend the firing range of these colors, the inclusion pigments (11,17) have been developed. In these pigments cadmium sulfoselenides are incorporated within a clear 2h con lattice. The superior stabiHty of 2h con is thus imparted to the pigment. Colors from yellow to orange-red are available. Deep red is not available, and the purity of these colors is limited. 

Linked characterized valves. The relationship between angular rotation of the valve spindle and open area of the valve can be adjusted over different portions of the flow range using a series of screws. In this way, the air/gas ratio can be characterized to any desired profile over the whole firing range. These valves are suited to fully modulating systems and are commonly used on steam boilers. 

In approximate size, the Arsenal covers 6S00 acres. Its activities are conducted in over 1500 buildings which are serviced by 85 miles of roads and 31 miles of railroad. Within its boundaries are two artificial lakes, three widely separated test-firing ranges, and two remote areas for the extremely hazardous activities... 

Fires range in size and consequence from those that are small, easily controlled, and result in minor damage to those that are large, difficult to control, and create a major loss. 

MAECTITE technology was used to treat excavated and screened firing range soil at Fort Ord in California. Approximately 1300 yd of soil were treated. Costs were estimated at 60/yd of soil treated (D15712K, pp. 24-26). 

In conventional ammunition lead, antimony, and barium are emitted when the ammunition is discharged. These three elements are undesirable from a health viewpoint and pose a major problem for firearms instructors in indoor firing ranges, as they are exposed to an unhealthy environment each working day. To solve this problem Dynamit Nobel AG developed a nontoxic primer composition called Sintox. Lead styphnate is replaced by 2-diazo-4,6-dinitrophenol (diazole) and the barium nitrate and antimony sulfide are replaced by a mixture of zinc peroxide and titanium metal powder. 

Examination of clothing and miscellaneous items, e.g., identification of bullet holes, differentiating between entry and exit holes, angles of fire, range of fire...

SINTOX is the international registered trademark for newly developed primer compositions of DYNAMIT NOBEL AG. They are required if the ambient air in closed firing ranges must not be polluted with combustion products containing lead, antimony or barium.
