Ogive. The curved portion from the projectile point to the bourrelet (the forward bourrelet, in the case of projectiles having fore and aft bourrelets) is called the ogive. [Pg.810]

A ballistic cap or windshield is employed (e.g., in the case of armor-piercing projectiles) as an ogive to improve ballistics (Ref 52, p 1-31)... [Pg.810]

An artillery projectile may be either solid or hollow. Hollow projectiles may be filled with explosive or inert material, depending on the type. Artillery projectiles, although differing in characteristic details, are of the same general shape in that they have a cylindrical body and generally an ogival or conical head (or windshield).

Typical HE (High-Explosive) Projectile w/o Tracer, is shown on Fig 1-1. Its body, made of forged steel, is provided with a long ogive and a square near which a gilding metal rotating band is fitted. A PD fuze is inserted into the threaded opening of the body... [Pg.814]

Typical HEAT-T (High-Explosive, Antitank-Tracer) Artillery Projectile, shown in Fig 1-6, consists of a forged-steel body contg a shaped HE charge (such as cast Comp B) Covered at its cavity with a Cu cone. An ogive is attached to the forward end of the body and a base fuze with a tracer is inserted into a threaded opening at the base of the body... [Pg.819]

Typical AP-T (Armor-Piercing-Tracer) Artillery Projectile, such as used in 120-mm AP-T Separated Projectile M358, is shown in Fig 1-7. Its solid cylindrical body (called "slug" or "shot ), made of hardened steel, has a pointed nose, a flat base and two gilding metal rotating bands. A tracer is inserted in the cavity of the base. The nose of proj is covered with a metallic (such as of forged Al) windshield (also known as "ballistic cap" or false ogive"), which makes the... [Pg.820]

Smoke Rifle Grenade, WP, M19A1 with MID Fuze, shown in Fig l-20g, consists of three basic pgrts the body, the fuze, and the stabilizer, made of steel. The cylindrical body, 2-inches in diameter, is made of sheet steel and is fitted with a rounded ogive. It is filled with 8.5 oz of white phosphorus and is completely sealed to prevent the entrance of air. The fuze is MID (mechanical impact detonating) type. [Pg.834]

The fuze (See Fig 1-84), consists of a diecast body (C) with a neck which houses the primer (A). A cavity in the middle of the fuze body, extending across the perpendicular to the fuze axis, holds a rotor (E) and a lock assembly (G). A body pin (F) serves to hold the lock cup and lock spring. The entire forward part of the fuze body and its mechanism is covered by a thin steel ogive (B). When sufficient rota-... [Pg.900]

Fuze, PD M572- It is an impact-type fuze similar to M557, except that is structurally reinforced by filling the ogive cavity with ca 2.5-oz of epoxy. The fuze is intended for use in 175-mm HE projectiles (Ref 52, p 5-47 no drawing)... [Pg.904]

HEP. High Explosive, Plastic (HEP) is defined as ammunition designed to defeat armor by spalling or scabbing. Conventional HEP shells have thin walls, ogival noses, base fuzes, and large filler capacities... [Pg.61]

Type 0 Parachute Flares Model 2 and Model 3, Modification 1 consisted of sheet steel cylindrical bodies 3514 3914 inches long and 6% inches in diam each. Each contd 66 lbs of Illuminant, a Fuze and a Parachute. The flares shed a bright white fight during 3-2/3 seconds (Ref 1, p 253, Figs 425 426). Detailed description is on pp 103—04 with Fig 78 in Ref 2 Experimental Model 11 Parachute Flares consisted of sheet steel cylindrical bodies 4314 inches long 914 inches in diam, provided with fins. One of the models had conical nose while the other had ogival nose. Each unit contd 68 lbs of Illuminant, a Fuze and a Parachute. The flare... [Pg.474]

The defuzed projs are placed vertically with open ends downward inside a long rectangular tank provided with a perforated false bottom. The ogival part of each proj should rest in one of the holes of false bottom. Then the tank is partly filled with water and live, low pressure steam is injected thru a perforated pipe located below the projs. This causes the water to boil and the heat melts the expl, thus emptying the projs. The molten material is accumulated at the bottom of the tank and then drained. The expl thus collected Is usually suitable for industrial uses... [Pg.402]

AP shell intended to penetrate face-hardened armor is usually provided with a slightly blunted nose which is fitted with a cone-shaped cap made of soft and tough forged alloy steel, face hardened. Such shell is called APC (armor-piercing capped). The cap of this shell is fitted with a conical cup, called windshield or ballistic cap, (also called false ogive) the purpose of which is...
