ABSTRACT:
A cartridge case for a cased telescoped ammunition round 10. The cartridge case includes a hollow cylindrical casing 12 the axis 15 of which is also the axis of symmetry of round 10. The inner surface of casing 12 has a longitudinal groove 48 formed in it along which groove 48 casing 12 splits when round 10 is fired. A rear seal 16 closes the rear end of casing 12 and a front seal 18 closes the front end of casing 12. A hollow cylindrical control tube 20 which includes a control portion 22 and a sleeve portion 24 is secured to seals 16, 18 so that control tube 20 is symmetric with axis 15. A spring 26 interconnects control portion 22 and sleeve portion 24 of control tube 20 and applys a force substantially parallel to axis 14 to seals 16, 18 to move seals 16, 18 toward each other to minimize the distance between seals 16, 18 after the round is fired and to confine the casing between seals 16, 18.
