Armor-piercing shot and shell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Armour-piercing shells of this period had a bursting charge of about 3% of the weight of the complete projectile, and were often fitted with a soft steel cap for the perforation of hard steel armour. The cavity of these projectiles was capable of receiving a small bursting charge of about 2% of the weight of the complete projectile, and when this is used the projectile is called an armour-piercing shell. At first these forged steel shot were made of ordinary carbon steel, but as armour improved in quality the projectiles followed suit, and, for the attack of the latest type of cemented steel armour, the projectile is formed of steel -- either forged or cast -- containing both nickel and chromium. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Armor-piercing_shot_and_shell   (588 words)

Armor piercing bullet - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography Rifle Armor piercing ammunition is generally a hardened penetrator surrounded with a copper jacket, just as almost every type of modern bullet is. Upon impact on a hard target, the copper case is destroyed, but the penetrator continues its motion and penetrates the substance. Armor Piercing Ammunition is used to penetrate hardened armored targets such as body armor, vehicle armor, concrete, and other defenses. Armor piercing ammunition consists of a hardened steel, tungsten carbide, or depleted uranium penetrator enclosed within a softer material, such as copper or aluminum. www.arikah.net /encyclopedia/Armor_piercing_bullet   (326 words)

Paths of Armor It was the Fifth Armored which devised the married formation of tanks and infantry; it led the Normandy break through; it sprang the Falaise trap which meant the death of the Seventh German Army and the Field Marshal who commanded it. While the Fifth Armored was disembarking in France on 26 July, endless columns of bomb-heavy allied planes, marking the skies with their long white streaks of vapor trails, mercilessly were blasting near St. Lo a breach in the tight semicircle which enemy forces held around the Normandy beachhead. The Fifth Armored's role in this effort was to advance on the right flank of the corps, remaining in readiness to support the attack of the 79th and 90th divisions, and to extend the front to Chateau-Gontier, and possibly as far south as Angers. www.5ad.org /Paths_of_Armor.html   (22112 words)

Artillery Glossary The sides and bottom of the shell being thick enough to resist crushing by the impact, and also to resist the explosive force of the bursting-charge, its effect will, after penetration, be expended on the backing of the armor, or the decks which the armor is intended to screen. The shell loads easily, being less in diameter than the bore; but when the gun is fired, the gas drives the sabot against the envelope and expands the lead into the grooves, so that the shot acquires a rotatory motion. If it be required to act as a canister-shot upon an enemy close to the gun, the regulation of the time-fuze must be turned to the zero of the scale, and then the shell will burst on leaving the gun. www.civilwarartillery.com /glossary/glossary.htm   (16590 words)

Weapons & Armor Inside the vest armor are biosensors to monitor the wearer's vital signs, including heart-rate and respiration; the sensors are connected to the radio transceiver on the helmet for transmittal to the unit commander. An alternative method of use is the so-called “wet shot”, wherein the nozzle burner is shut off and the fuel stream is directed towards the target where it mists as it reaches the range limit. The combination of the missile's hypervelocity and the explosive force allows the tungsten rod to penetrate all but the strongest armor. www.colonialmarinesrpg.com /weapons_armor.html   (3657 words)

Ammunition Smaller sizes of shells are laid on their sides in layers, each layer pointing in the opposite direction to the one below to prevent injury to the driving bands. In an ammunition or shell store these precautions need not be taken except where the shell store and the adjacent cartridge store have a common entrance; persons entering may do so in their ordinary clothes. Large numbers of small projectiles intended to be fired all at once in a single discharge are also called shot; hand-held guns designed for this type of ammunition are generally known as shotguns. www.worldhistory.com /wiki/A/Ammunition.htm   (2672 words)

bodyarmo The strange thing about monocrys armor (TL 8) is that while it is not significantly better than Kevlar (first commercial Kevlar body armor appeared in 1972) and even inferior to Spectra armor (late TL 7, 1988+), it is still more fashionable to wear a "two-phase, single crystal metallic fiber". The elements are: Armored vest (PD 2, DR 20 for areas 9-11, 17-18, 7 lbs.), Ballistic Inserts for front and back (raising protection to PD 4, DR 50; +15 lbs.

Armor-piercing shot and shell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Armour-piercing shells of this period had a bursting charge of about 3% of the weight of the complete projectile, and were often fitted with a soft steel cap for the perforation of hard steel armour. On the introduction of ironclad warships in the late 19th century it was found that the ordinary cast-iron projectile readily pierced the thin plating, and in order to protect the vital parts of the vessel wrought iron armour of considerable thickness was placed on the sides. Plain AP shell is now very rarely seen except in naval usage, and is not commonly used there. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Armor-piercing_shot_and_shell   (701 words)
