ABSTRACT:
Cartridge case member with a combustible tube, ammunition with a semicombustible cartridge case incorporating this member and process for filling this ammunition.
The present invention relates to the field of combustible ammunition and relates more particularly to that of dart-shell semicombustible ammunition.
The invention relates to a cartridge case member (3) with a combustible tube (6) comprising a bottom (7) which has a central opening (8) and a side opening (9). A hollow component (4) enters the said member (3) through the central opening (8) without obstructing the side opening (9). This hollow component (4) is a shell of revolution which comprises, over its entire height, a central cavity on the wall of which are arranged means (18) for fastening a separate component.
The invention also relates to semicombustible ammunition (1) comprising a member (3) according to the invention.
Finally, the invention relates to a process for assembling such ammunition, a process according to which, after the ignition tube (34) and the shell have been fastened to the member (3), the latter is filled with powder by virtue of the side opening (9) and the metal base (2) is fitted only afterwards by snapping on.
