index.htm Armour piercing bullets are a specific design which incorporates a hard steel or tungsten carbide penetrator inside the bullet's core. Armour piercing bullets behave exactly like any other full-metal jacketed bullet until they impact hard steel armour. Armour piercing bullets are specifically designed to penetrate steel and other metal armour. www.nfa.ca /journalist/ap.html

BlackHammer CyberPunk Project: F.I.D. AmmoList This means that the bullet gathers more energy than a steel one, and gives it up to its target quicker Unfortunately it means it also slows a lot faster in normal travel, making it armour piercing only at point blank to medium ranges. These are armour piercing charges made to cut open heavy armour. The Bullets are fragile and poor against armour (sp x1.5) If the bullet wounds the target takes a second stun only wound at save -3 to represent the pain (pain editors will automatically cut this out) Burning sensation drops to -2 and then -1 after time as acid is used up. www.ambient.ca /cpunk/flipperammo.html

armour piercing ammunition? - Glock Talk I am not looking for armour piercing only pointed. Since bad guys buy armour now and "vest up" it might be worthwhile. IIIA (tac armour) will stop most stuff, but it is too heavy to wear in the summer. glocktalk.com /sitemap/topic/163574-1.html

bullet proof vests body armour soft body armor australia This accreditation is only given to manufacturers who produce body armour to extremely high quality standards and stringent specifications which is complemented by our five million dollar Product Liability Insurance cover. In Europe we work manly to the German standard Schutzklasse "L" which allows only 40mm blunt trauma for concealment vests (Covert Armour) and 20mm blunt trauma for any type of vest which is worn over clothing (Overt Armour). When comparing weight of body armour of the same level of protection from different manufacturers, one must first establish the weight per square meter of the armour. www.safecity.com.au /nijdata2.htm

body armour NIJ threat level bullet proof vest body armor Soft Body Armour is generally designed to defeat standard handgun ammunition, not armour piercing or rifle ammunition and while it may offer protection from a slashing knife attack there is no real protection from a stabbing attack. Body armour (also called body arrmor in the US) is often referred to incorrectly as bullet proof vest or bullet proof jacket. The term Bullet Resistant is used because there is no guarantee that the armour will defeat every bullet it may encounter. www.safecity.com.au /nijdata.htm

303CartRTT Tracer, armour piercing and incendiary cartridges were adopted by the British Government during 1915, explosive bullets having been approved for service in 1916. Armour Piercing W Mk 1 and W Mk 1 IP Ball, Cordite Mk 2, Mk 2 Special, Mk 6 and Mk 7 The last tracer round introduced into British service was the G Mark 8 round approved in 1945, the last armour piercing round was the W Mark 1Z introduced in 1945 and the last incendiary round was the B Mark 7 introduced in 1942. www.harringtonmuseum.org.uk /303CartRTT.htm

Body Armour The Inflatable Body Armour System (IBAS) is a unique jacket which incorporates a life jacket with added armour to protect the wearer from bullet and fragmentation attack. Weighing only 3.5 kilos, the jacket uses revolutionary fabrics providing the wearer with 80 percent more protection than conventional body armour, including the ability to inflate even after multiple pistol and armour piercing rounds. The energy absorbing materials sit behind bullet-proof panels and the inflatable bladder gives the jacket the necessary buoyancy to keep military personnel afloat after the jacket has been hit by a bullet. www.mas-wm.org /www/bodyarmour.htm

Explosive bullets were not produced in the UK after about 1933 due to the relatively small amount of explosive that could be contained in the bullet limiting their effectiveness, their role being successfully fulfilled by the use of Mark 6 and 7 incendiary bullets which were also of a less complicated construction. The round nose bullet form of the Black Powder Mark 1 and 2 and of the Cordite Mark 1 and 2 were felt by many servicemen to have less man stopping effect than the old lead.45 inch Martini bullet, the predecessor in service of the.303 cartridge. www.harringtonmuseum.org.uk /303CartRTT.htm   (5097 words)

CanadianDriver: Interest in 'armoured' vehicles increasing Worldwide Armoring, for example, offers six levels of protection: from armour designed to stop a 357 Magnum or 9 mm handgun bullet to armour that will stop tungsten-tipped armour piercing bullets from high-powered rifles. James Campbell of Armet Armored Cars says his company's armouring protects against, "military ball ammunition and up, and for the most part, defeats armour-piercing projectiles fired by military rifles." Ronald J. Kimball of Texas Armoring says his armour "will defeat 7.62 Nato ammunition used in the AK-47 and M-16 high-powered weapons". James Campbell of Armet Armored Cars in Concorde, Ontario says the increase in the number of enquiries since September 11th has been "huge". www.canadiandriver.com /articles/gw/armour.htm   (5097 words)

H2G2 HESH warheads are no longer seriously considered as armour-piercing weapons since newer forms of armour have rendered the technology obsolete. HESH warheads are still in use in second-line functions because the explosive content of the warhead can produce more damage in unarmoured vehicles than an APDS type which will essentially punch through without slowing down, not imparting much of its energy into the target. 'High Explosive Squash Head' projectiles have a softened ogive [The technical term for the shape of the front of a bullet or shell, ogive is also used to describe the front part of the projectile, that part with a curved shape. www.bbc.co.uk /dna/h2g2/pda/A593499?s_id=6   (192 words)

The Probert Encyclopaedia - Weapons and Warfare (C-F) It was made of ammonium picrate powder, was relatively insensitive, and was widely used in armour-piercing shells as it withstood the shock of impact against armour without detonating, allowing the shell to pierce the armour before the fuse initiated the explosive. It was a jacketed.303 cal. British bullet with the jacket nose left open to expose the lead core in the hope of increasing effectiveness.

Tank history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mark IV in 1917, similar to the early Marks in appearance, its construction was more considered to produce a more reliable machine and the long-barreled Naval guns were shortened, armour was increased just enough to defeat the standard German armour-piercing bullet. Tanks became more effective as the lessons of the early tanks was absorbed. Tanks were adapted to many uses during WWII including mine-sweeping tanks using any number of mineclearing techniques, flamethrower tanks, engineering tanks with a crane or bulldozer blade, recovery tanks for towing disabled tanks, and command tanks with extra radios and dummy turrets. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Tank_history   (192 words)

Whitworth Rifled Ordnance He also rifled three cast iron 32-prs and a 68-pr supplied by the Government for trials with armour-piercing shot but all burst, which was not unexpected. Now Whitworth knew little about small arms or ordnance, so in 1855 conducted a series of experiments from which he deduced the twist of the rifling to be too slow for the length and weight of the bullet, causing it to become unstable at the longer ranges. Meanwhile the Select Committee appointed in August 1858 to recommend a system of rifled ordnance for adoption into the services was under pressure to make a quick decision owing to the current international situation. www.riv.co.nz /rnza/hist/gun/rifled2.htm   (192 words)

Kinetic energy penetrator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The most common modern type of kinetic energy penetrator is known as armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS), a type of long-rod penetrator (LRP). A kinetic energy penetrator is a type of ammunition which, like a bullet, does not contain explosives, but uses kinetic energy to penetrate the target. To maximize the amount of kinetic energy released on the target, the penetrator must be made of a dense material, such as tungsten or depleted uranium (DU). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Kinetic_energy_penetrator   (734 words)
