Evaluation Method of Frangible Bullets Frangibility

Abstract

The article deals with the quantification of frangibility of the frangible bullets, which has high practical significance in evaluating the capability of a bullet to fragment upon impact on the target or obstacle and which allows comparison between the different types of the frangible bullets. In this article new original evaluation method of frangibility of frangible pistol bullets when hitting to the defined target is presented.

Effect of aging on damage properties and reaction characteristics of typical 2,4‐dinitroanisole (DNAN)‐based melt‐cast explosives under low‐velocity impact

“…For each size class, the size factor K mi was established as a weighted number to represent the individual size class preference of the projectile fragments [19]. Because fragile projectiles tend to decompose into small fragments, the value of K mi was higher in the same class, corresponding to the smaller size of the fragments, and vice versa.…”
