Separate loading ammunition

Large-calibre artillery ammunition permits a more complex payload including high explosives, bursters, shrapnel, bursting charges, fuzes, incendiaries, etc. [Pg.10]

In addition to catalysts, stabilizers, opacifiers (to reduce heat radiation ahead of the flame), flash depressants, plasticizers, and binders, the main fuel and oxidizers for rocket propellants include [Pg.11]

While the term missile can apply to any projectile ammunition, guided missiles describes those rockets whose course or trajectory is controlled electronically by computers and communications equipment. [Pg.11]

Torpedoes are tubular rockets or missiles designed to operate underwater. They are the principal weapons of submarines but may be dropped from aircraft or surface vessels. Torpedoes may be expelled by compressed air or propelled by a propelling charge, steam, or electricity. [Pg.11]

Warheads contain the agent intended to inflict damage in any projectile ammunition, be it inert, explosive, nuclear, biological, or chemical, although the term is most often applied to self-propelled missiles, rockets, and torpedoes. Warheads include casings, destructive agents, and a power supply. They may be loaded into the ammunition just before use. With the addition of fuzes, safety, and arming mechanisms, warheads become armament systems. [Pg.11]

Igniters used for separate loaded ammunition of larger caliber cannons are called Igniter Bags and were described above. Igniters used in fixed ammunition of cannons of medium and small caliber consist of a long, narrow, per-... [Pg.272]

It sometimes happens that when bags of propellant of separate loaded ammunition are charged into a gun immediately after the previous round had been fired, a premature ignition of the charge takes place. This usually happens when one or several pieces of an incompletely burned powder bag from the previous charge remain glowing in the barrel. [Pg.256]

Friction Compositions for Friction Detonators Friction Firing Devices and Friction Igniters or Primers. These are powders which are easily ignited by friction. Some of the simplest mixtures are K chlorate with sugar or with antimony sulfide. Davis (Ref 1, p 453) gives table listing three compns which have been widely used in friction primers for artillety, separate-loaded ammunition... [Pg.584]
