Storey submission capability
The projectile release capability (also: projectile release capability ) is a security aspect of modern small arms such as B. Guns .
definition
One speaks of a projectile in reference if the entire projectile or substantial remains of the projectile remain in the projectile passage after ignition .
Effects
A blockage can lead to serious malfunctions when igniting a downstream cartridge, which can deform the barrel or cause it to burst, rendering the weapon unusable. Particularly when firing from the shoulder, structural failure of the barrel - due to escaping gases and small parts flying around - can lead to serious injuries to the shooter and to people in the immediate vicinity.
Avoidance
In the case of a weapon with a projectile template, projectiles are automatically driven out of the barrel by subsequent projectiles. The function of the weapon is retained.
It should be noted that the projectile release capability of a weapon can never be determined in general, because it always depends on the type of ammunition used .
The detection of projectiles or the projectile projection capability is of particular importance in fully automatic weapons, because the shooter normally cannot react to individual misfires due to the high rate of fire. The ability to project bullets is therefore an essential feature in the procurement of materials for the Bundeswehr and is described in detail in the NATO standard AC225 / D14 .
