Разрывные пули используют в военном деле и охоте.Despite the existing prohibitions, they are used in our time, as well as made independently. They may have a different device, caliber and action, so you should read them in more detail.
The history of creating explosive bullets
К разрывным пулям относится наиболее conflicting information about the use of small arms during World War II. Official sources are silent about their use, but the memoir literature does not hide this. Such cartridges were in service with both sides, but in limited quantities. Aviation was the main consumer of such complex and expensive products.
The types of ammunition used were not taken into account.in the first stage of the war. Only in the summer of 1943, physicians discovered fragments of bullets in dubious wounds. The results of the research were brought to the army. Since information on the production of explosive cartridges is silent, it can be concluded that they appeared along with firearms.
Пули с разрывным зарядом использовались для combat enemy aircraft in the XVIII century and was made by reworking the bullet with a spherical tip. The defeat of the balloons required the use of a more sensitive to impact design with a cap acting on the top of the cut, and to destroy durable equipment, its cap was inserted into the hole located at the top of the product. In 1916, explosive bullets entered service with the British Army.
Action burst bullets
There are many such patrons.delusions. To understand what information is true, it is worth knowing what a bursting bullet device is. They consist of a shell, primer, drummer, fuse and explosive.
Поражение пулей достигается благодаря тому, что it shatters into a large number of fragments. If they enter the body, the person has a chance of survival. However, such munitions were banned for use against enemy personnel, but this does not apply to cases when the fight against aircraft and armored vehicles is conducted.
Explosive cartridge carries an explosive chargesubstances that in case of contact with an obstacle detonates. These munitions are not costly to manufacture, but are highly efficient. For causing significant losses armored vehicles should not use bullets, because they can not bear enough charge for this. Although they are ideal for work on the enemy's air targets. Explosive bullets are diverse in their design, but in most cases they have the same principle of operation.
A variety of explosive bullets for hunting
It is wrong to call explosive cartridges simplebullets with emptiness in front, which when hitting an obstacle are broken into pieces. This is only due to the deformation of the bullet due to the impact force. It is worth getting acquainted with their various types in order to understand this topic in more detail.
Bullet mida
The oldest can be called a bursting bullet,which was invented by Mead. It has an outer shell of lead and an inner spherical shell of brass. In front it has a seed hole with a shock composition, and behind it there is an eye for a rope tail. Thanks to its presence, the bullet hits the target with a seed. Products without a tail can be used for rifled barrels. Their prototype could be an artillery grenade, which is equipped with a wick, igniting powder gases.
Explosive round bullets
Round bullets do not deserve attention in theirballistic properties. The void inside, intended for explosives, has a small volume and greatly facilitates the bullet. Such ammunition has a different flight path, and also loses its speed much faster. The proper effect cannot be obtained with small amounts of explosive composition.
Oblong bullets
Oblong bullets are more perfect.They have a total length of 26 mm. Moreover, the total diameter is 14.9 mm, the diameter of the void - 5.5 mm, and its depth - 14 mm. 0.2 g of smoked powder is poured into a tubule of sheet iron, which is inserted into a cylindrical channel. A cap is inserted into the front part of the tubule, going deep into the bullet. To secure it in a bullet and eliminate possible loss, lead is rolled onto the edge of the bullet. This product is used in rifled guns intended for hunting dangerous large animals. For them, it is advisable to use explosive bullets 12 caliber, so they can stop a large beast.
Ushakov's explosive bullet
Ushakov's explosive bullet has a pin insteadtubules. In addition, the cap is installed on the bottom of the cylindrical channel. Friction holds the front of the pin in a lead plug. To reduce the sensitivity, it is shortened or moved away from the primer. In order to use these ammunition for a smooth-bore gun, it is necessary to ensure that the bullet flies head first. This can be done by attaching the tail of the tree.
Use of explosive bullets for hunting
For hunting the most important characteristicsused bullets is the stopping power and accuracy of the shot. According to Zhosser’s formula, the first indicator is equal to the product of the product’s cross-sectional area and its kinetic energy. This does not take into account the device ammunition.
Considering the design features of bullets forshotguns for hunting, it is worth mentioning explosive bullets "Zhakan". They increase the stopping power, but in case of shooting in the bushes, they do not open well enough. Today they are very difficult to find.
Until recently, cartridges with a similar effect.not offered to hunters. For this reason, the free “niche” was occupied by the “Duplex” cartridges, which became a novelty for them in the domestic market. In Europe, they for a long time show themselves from a good side.
Explosive bullets from the manufacturer "Duplex" will beindispensable when hunting in places with limited visibility and in the forest. If the beast appears in sight, you can immediately shoot if possible. An explosive bullet can immobilize an elk, a bear or a boar. The choice will remain for the hunter, which of the cartridges is better to choose. Explosive bullets will be much more effective, but will cost more.
Explosive bullets for pneumatics
Many fans of pneumatic shootingweapons upset the lack of commercially available bullets with a bursting substance. Their presence does not provide anything but the effectiveness of the shot. In addition, they can try to make explosive bullets with their own hands. Before you trust the proposed methods, which can often be found on the forums, it is worth thinking carefully. In the absence of experience and knowledge in the field of creating cartridges you should not do this. When homemade bullets are detonated at home, their tail end often comes off. At the same time, it will fly at a huge speed to the shooter.
More often all explosive bullets are made forPneumatics 4.5, since this caliber is small. But it should be understood that the prepared compositions for explosive pneumatic bullets contain harmful chemical compounds. They can poison all around. Before you make a bursting bullet with your own hands, you should think that the effect of the shot can do disastrous consequences.
Dum-dum explosive bullet
This name received expansive bullets.They are special products that increase in diameter due to their design. This occurs when it enters the soft tissue of a person, after which its damaging ability increases.
Экспансивностью называют способность пули increase the diameter that she originally had. They act not only in the body, but in any other soft medium. To date, explosive bullets "dum-dum" banned for use in military weapons. However, they are widely used in the process of hunting and self-defense. It is considered unacceptable to use bullets from a single shell of a military sample.
For a long time for manualfirearms used soft bullets of lead without a shell with a large caliber. For example, it could be 12 caliber explosive bullets. When released into a soft medium, they increase in diameter. Thus, they are able to inflict significant injuries to both the beast and man. Recently, the military began to switch to weapons with a small caliber.
Данные патроны достаточно часто не могли cope with the pressure generated by smokeless powder in the barrel of a weapon. Given this circumstance, designers began to use products that had a shell over a lead core. It is made of metals such as copper, steel, brass, and nickel silver. These cartridges go through the barrel cuts with reliability, without contaminating it.
Explosive dum-dum bullets were banned toapplication of the Hague Convention in 1899. This declaration was approved and signed by fifteen countries. Eleven states abstained from signing. One of the reasons for the adoption of the declaration was humanity. In addition, the ammunition did not have a high speed of flight, because of which their range was reduced. In this case, the bullet "dum-dum" fell from the rifling inside the barrel, hammering them with lead. Another disadvantage is the deformation of the cartridge at the time of its filing from the store. This leads to delays in shooting or to the complete failure of the weapon.
The use of explosive bullets in the XXI century
Today, these bullets have not lost theirrelevance, despite the existing ban on the use of the military. They are required to perform tasks, the determining factor of which is the increased stopping power of ammunition. It does not matter the firing range. This condition applies to pistols and hunting rifles. They are equally relevant both in military affairs and in hunting. Especially popular are oblong bullets for airing out explosives.
Кроме того, они используются, так как не leave wounded game among animals that will be doomed to death. A similar quality made them in demand for police operations. This is due to the high stopping effect, as well as a small probability of hitting the target, which excludes the possibility of touching passersby.
