Special cartridge (variants)

Abstract

The invention relates to a weapon intended for fighting games, mainly for paintball, namely to special cartridges containing painting liquid. The special cartridge contains a cartridge case 1 that includes a propellant charge 2, a projectile 3 and a primer cap 4. The cartridge case 1 has inside a rigidly fixed nozzle 5 (variants 1, 3) for supplying a portion of the gas stream at the projectile 3 or a solid partition 7 (variant 2). The cylindrical cartridge case body 1 is provided with holes 6 on the side of the primer cap 4 that are intended to direct the gas flow (variants 1-3); in addition, the mouth of the cartridge case is also provided with holes 8 for directing the gas flow (variants 2, 3). The areas of the holes of the nozzle 5 and the total surfaces of the holes 6 and 8 are of different size. To carry out firing process, the primer cap 4 is impacted, which ignites the propellant charge 2; the larger portion of the gas stream formed during combustion of the propellant is directed through the holes 6 in the weapon bore, thus creating a main effect of shot (sound, flame). The lesser gas stream formed by combustion of the propellant charge 2 is directed to the projectile 3 and imparts to it the required acceleration, while maintaining the integrity of its shape and volume. The projectile 3 is made as a tagging one; a bead that is identical to that used in a paintball game can be used as such a projectile. Furthermore, the projectile 3 is designed as a container, inside which any filler, for example, an antiseptic agent, can be located.

A partition 7 is installed in the cartridge case 1 fixedly secure din side the cartridge case 1 and made as a solid one. Through holes 6 and holes 8 are made in the cylindrical body of the cartridge case 1 on both sides of partition 7, wherein the total area S.sub.1 of the holes 6 located on the side of the primer cap 4 is larger the total area S.sub.3 of holes 8 arranged in the mouth portion of the cartridge case 1.

(8) The projectile 3 is made as a tagging one; a bead that is similar to one used in paintball game can be used as a tagging element in this cartridge design. Furthermore, the projectile 3 is made as a container, inside which there may be any filler, for example, antiseptic substance.

(9) The special cartridge (variant 3) includes a cartridge case 1, inside which propellant charge 2 is located, which is a solid powder charge insulated from the effects of environment, a projectile 3 and a primer cap 4. A nozzle 5 intended to direct a lesser portion of the gas flow at the projectile 3 is located and fixedly secured inside the cartridge case 1. Through holes 6 to output the most portion of the gas flow are made in the cylindrical body of the cartridge case 1, on the side of the primer cap 4, wherein the total area S.sub.1 of the holes 6 for the output of a larger portion of the gas flow is more than the area S.sub.2 of the minimum nozzle hole 5. Through holes 6 and through holes 8 are made in the cylindrical cartridge case body 1 on both sides of the nozzle 5, wherein the total area S.sub.1 of the holes 6 arranged on the side of the primer cap 4 is larger than the total area S.sub.3 of the holes located in the mouth of the cartridge case 1.

(10) The projectile 3 is made as a tagging one; a bead that is similar to one used in paintball game can be used as a tagging element in this cartridge design. Furthermore, the projectile 3 is made as a container, inside which there may be any filler, for example, antiseptic substance.

(11) The special cartridge (variant 1) works as follows. To perform the firing process, the primer cap 4 is impacted, which in turn ignites the propellant charge 2; a larger portion of the gas stream formed during combustion of the propellant charge is directed through the holes 6 in the weapon bore, thus creating a main shot effect (sound, flame), as well a portion energy of this gas stream is spent to actuate the weapons automation for the automatic recharge. A smaller portion of the gas stream formed in the combustion of the propellant charge 2 is directed through the nozzle 5 to the projectile 3 and impart to it the required acceleration, while maintaining the integrity of its shape and volume, thus we obtain a maximum effect of the shot. As the tagging projectile 3 hits the target the bead shell tears, and the painting liquid leaves a clear trace of the hit.

(12) The special cartridge (variant 2) works as follows. To perform the firing process, the primer cap 4 is impacted, which in turn ignites the propellant charge 2; the gas formed during the combustion of the propellant charge goes through the holes 6 out of the cartridge case 1 and distributes as follows: one portion goes into the bore of the weapons, thus creating a main effect of shot (sound, flame), a portion of the energy of this gas is consumed for work of the weapon automation for the automatic recharge, and the other portion directed through the holes 8 to the projectile 3 and imparts to it the required acceleration, while maintaining the integrity of its shape and volume, thus we obtain a maximum effect of the shot. As the tagging projectile 3 hits the target, the bead shell tears, and the painting liquid leaves a clear trace of the hit.

(13) The special cartridge (variant 3) works as follows. To perform the firing process, the primer cap 4 is impacted, which in turn ignites the propellant charge 2; the gas formed during the combustion of the propellant charge 2 is divided into two streams and distributes as follows: a portion of the first flow goes through the holes 6 out of the cartridge case 1 and is guided in the bore of the weapon, thereby creating a main effect of shot (sound flame); a portion of energy of this gas is spent to actuate the weapon automation for automatic reloading, the second portion of the flow is directed through the nozzle 5 to the projectile 3 and impart to it the required initial acceleration, while maintaining the integrity of its shape and volume; a portion of the first gas flow hits through the holes 8 to the projectile too, while imparting to it an additional acceleration. As the tagging projectile 3 hits the target, the bead shell tears, and the painting liquid leaves a clear trace of the hit.
