Juhasz (1977) qualitatively demonstrated that lead-based ammunition was associated with the generation of particles ranging from under 0.3 to 100 pm most of the particles were smaller than 1 pm. That observation is similar to results regarding the particle size of copper associated with the use of lead-based or lead-free frangible ammunition. For example, the Air Force Institute for Occupational Health (AFIOH 2008) reported that most airborne copper particles associated with an M4 rifle muzzle blast have an aerodynamic diameter under 5 pm. The committee was unable to obtain similar quantitative data on particle size distributions associated with lead-based ammunition used in different small-arms weapons. [Pg.48]

It was the single largest ammunition contract in the history of federal law enforcement, worth a maximum of 54 million.

The West-Mullins invention relates to lead-free frangible ammunition [generally practice ammo] wherein the bullets are made of from 85% to 93% by weight of powders of copper, tungsten, ceramic, bismuth, stainless steel or bronze, or blends/alloys of the identified materials, the powder present in a polyester matrix with a small amount of ionomer.

Rrst, the weight of this prior art frangible ammunition is insufficient to c de properly in the autoloaders used by many shooters. [Pg.160]

Virginia s Extreme Shock is one of those All-American businesses that got a start because its founders saw an un-met need and because our nation encourages entrepreneurs. CEO Jeff Mullins recalls that by 1995 he and a group of friends had become frustrated with ammunition presented as frangible and a year later they went into the ammo business, specifically into the green ammo business. [Pg.151]

The bullets are injection molded under pressure to produce a projectile of appropriate size and weight and comparable to similarly sized live ammunition. The consistency of the bullet is such that it is frangible and will break upon impact with any hard surface, such as sheet steel. [Pg.158]

In light of the dehciencies noted in the prior part, a new alternative frangible practice ammunition is presented which more closely approximates the firing characteristics of live ammunition than has heretofore been possible. ... [Pg.160]
