The present invention in some aspects is directed to small arms ammunition and programmed upset characteristics thereof imparted to them using high energy beams. More particularly, the invention relates to ammunition and methods of making ammunition having predetermined patterns of engraving and/or cutting or hardening and/or annealing imparted in the ammunition's forward portion using a programming laser or electron beam system adapted for treating projectiles to effect predetermined and consistent upset configurations.

A processing apparatus for performing not only cutting and drawing, but also other processing, and a cartridge used for the processing apparatus are provided. The processing apparatus includes a first cartridge including: a first processing tool to form a machining mark by grinding or cutting a surface of a sheet-like object; an actuator to operate by an external power supply and drive the first processing tool; and a first housing to accommodate the first processing tool where a tip of the first processing tool is exposed and accommodate the actuator. The processing apparatus also includes a carriage including a mounting section which the first cartridge is detachably mounted; a transfer mechanism to move the object and the carriage relatively to each other; and a control circuit to control driving of the transfer mechanism to form the machining mark on the surface of the object by the first processing tool.

A method for the three-dimensional decoration of a substrate (11) to produce an external part (10), which method includes the steps of: depositing an enamel base layer (12) on an external surface (110) of a ceramic substrate (11); firing the substrate (11) covered with the base layer (12); etching the base layer (12) in a predefined decorative pattern to generate one or more blind cavities; depositing a decorative layer (13) of ceramic material and/or metallic material on the base layer (12) and the cavities (120) so as to fill said cavities (120) in order to form decorative elements (130); surfacing the decorative layer (13) to remove said layer deposited on the base layer (12); and tribofinishing the substrate (11), the base layer (12) and the decorative layer (13) to remove the base layer (12).
