The M755 blank cartridge is especially designed for use with the Sting Ring Airfoil Munition System which consists of the M234 launcher and the 64mm riot control M743 projectile fired from the Ml6Al rifle.

Description:

_BLANI( Cartridge. The cartridge is only for use with the M234 riot control 6411m projectile launcher. The launcher is attached to the flash suppressor of the Ml6Al rifle and actuated by firing an M755 5.56mm blank cartridge. The M755 blank cartridge is the only cartndge that will give the projectile M743 the proper velocity. Use of other blank cartridges may damage the system.

The cartridge is loaded with 12 grains of DuPont Hi Skor 700X propellant closed with a seven petal nose crimp and moisture sealed. The crimped tips of the cartridge is painted with yellow lacquer for identification and thus

/‘- lessen the chance of mixing them with the standard MlGAl rifle blank cartridges.

I;uactian: ---.--- -

The blank cartridge is fed into the firin; chamber. When fired, the primer ignites the pro pellant. The expanding propellant gases pas from the muzzle of the rifle into the launche manifold. The projectile is ejected from tb launcher barrel. The propellant charge is no sufficient to eject the cartridge case which mus he ejected by pulling the charging handle of th’ rifle all the way back.

Description:

TRAINER-SPOTTER Cartridge. The cartridge has a chemical-filled (smoke composition) projectile. It is identified by the markings on the cartridge case and a yellow projectile tip. The cartridge has no fuze and it uses a time delay element to provide an air burst.

Function:

When the cartridge is fired, the heat of the propellant gases ignites the delay element. The delay element burns 3 seconds and, in turn, ignites the smoke composition. The heat and pressure produced by the burning filler rupture the plastic closing disc at the projectile base and a visible puff of smoke is emitted.

GUXIS, 20mm, M39, M61, Ml63 and Ml95 The cartridge is for use against ground targets, including lightly armored vehicles, functioning with both explosive and incendiary effect. The projectile consists of a high explosive incendiary (HEI) charge and is assembled with t.he M505A3 fuze.

Description:

HIGH EXPLOSIVE INCENDIARY Car- tridge. The projectile is thin-walled steel. A base plate is attached to the projectile to prevent ignition of the incendiary mixture by the propellant gases. A point-detonating (PD) fuze is screwed into the nose of the projectile.

Function:

P The M505A3 fuze is a point-detonating, single-action fuze intended to function upon impact with the target.

Difference Ijetween Models: ~-

The models differ in the method of loading the projectiles. The M56A3 has the HE mh and the incendiary mix combined in one pellet The M56A4 has the incendiary pellet inserted into the projectile, then the HE mix pellet is added. This improves fire start capability.

Gun, 20mm, M168. The cartridge is for use against aerial targets.

Description:

HIGH EXPLOSIVE INCENDIARY- TR?ZER, SELF-DESTROYING Cartridge.

Functionr

The cartridge is assembled with an M505A3 point-detonating (PD) fuze. The projectile, in addition to the M505A3 fuze, consists of a high explosive incendiary (HEI) charge, self- destroying (SD) relay charge, and a tracer charge. ‘l’h PCP nha,.mxc fnrwr the cn nl*.ni*- - .I_“_ Il.UI 6-0 I”& ‘A1 L“C VY k,,C1‘,,. The tracer bunIs for about 3 to 7 seconds, where- upon the relay charge is ignited which detonates the HE1 charge low order. If impact with target occurs prior to self-destruction, the M505A3 fuze causes the HE1 charge to detonate high order.

Difference Between Models:

The basic difference between the models is in the loading of the projectiles. In the M246

projectile, the incendiary mix and the HE mix are combined in one pellet. In the M246Al projectile, the incendiary is loaded as a separate pellet. The HE mix is also loaded as a separate pellet along with the SD relay charge pellet and the tracer charge pellet, start capability,

This improves fire

mpe Classification:

TC STD A - Approved March 13,1989.

The existing Vulcan Air Defense System WADS) and Product Improved Vulcan Air Defense System (PIVADS) M246 ammunition is incapable of providing defense against the mod- ern enemy threat at combat ranges greater than 1,600 meters because of inherent perfoim- ante limitations including poor flight characteristics, self-destroying ranges, and terminal effectiveness. Therefore, the Army decided to pursue acquiring a new round of ammunition for VADS/PIVADS which would exhibit better exterior ballistics and greater lethality than the exisitin M24G High Explosive Incendiary- Tracer s elf-Destroying (HEI-T-SD) ammunition.

Description:

MULTIPURPOSE TRACE SELF- DESTROYING Cartridge. The cartridge is an mlproved fuzeless pyrotechnic initiated 20mm HE cartridge. The projectile consists of a heavy- walled ste&l body charged with explosive mix and an incendiary mix, and an aluminum nose charged with another incendiary mix. The projectile also has safe and arming (S&A), tracer, and self-destroying which is initiated by heat from combustion of the tracer composition. The lack of fuze permits an enhanced aero- dynamic ogive shape which results in a reduc- tion in drag factor and reduced time of flight, thereby extending the effectiveness of the VADS from 1,200 meters to 2,000 meters against aircraft targets. The M940 will replace

:R 2871-A

the 20mm M246 HEI-T-SD as the primary air defense cartridge for the VADS and any of its improved versions.

Function:

The projectile consists of a steel body charged with a HE mix, Composition A-4 (MIL- C-4401, and an incendiary mix, Type I (equiva- lent I-68). The projectile has an aluminum nose charged with Type II incendiary (equiva- lent I-136). The hardened forebody of the projec- ti!e provides for defeat of !ightweight armor (3/8 RI-IA at well over 500 ml. The incendiaries provide a built-in delay when initiated on the thin skin of an aircraft, and the projectile explodes approximately 1 foot behind the skin. The M940 cartridge, therefore, is primarily intended for air defense but has a secondary roll against light armored vehicles. The M940 contarns a chemical S&A intended to reduce the probability of functioning on a 0.04 aluminum plate at 1 meter from the muzzle. When initiated, all projectile fragnlents go forward.

Description:

ARMOR PIERCING DISCARDING SABOT- TRXJE’R Cartridge. The cartridge is a fixed type, percussion primed 25mm ammunition, intended as the armor piercing service round to successfully engage lightly armored vehicles. The cartridge consists of a sabot encapsulated projectile body, crimped to a steel cartridge case containing 98 grams of extruded propellant, Ml15 percussion primer and booster pellet. The projectile body consists of a solid tungsten alloy penetrator, pressed on aluminum windshield, pressed-m tracer pellets, molded discarding-type nylon sabot, staked aluminum base and pressed-on polythylene nose cap.

Function:

When fired, the weapon firing pin initiates the primer which ignites the propelling charge. Gases produced by the burning propellant propel the projectile from the cannon and ignite the tracer. Setback, centrifugal and air pressure forces cause the sabot to discard upon leaving the gun tube. The penetrator (core) is spin- stabilized and penetrates the target solely by kinetic energy.

When fired, the weapon firing pin initiates the primer which ignites the propelling charge. Gases produced by the burning propellant propel the projectile through the barrel and ignite the tracer. Centrifugal and air pressure forces cause the sabot, protective cap, and aluminum base to discard upon leaving the barrel. The high mass flow tracer decreases the base drag,

Description:

ARM;R PIER;;NG FIN STABILIFED DISCAR ING S OT-TRACER Cartridge. The cartridge is a fixed type, percussion primed 25mm ammunition, intended to supersede the M791 for use in combat. The cartridge consists of a subcaliber projectile inside an aluminum sabot, crimped to a steel cartridge case containing 97 grams of extruded propellant, modified Ml15 percussion primer and flash tube. The subprojectile consists of a depleted uranium penetrator with a pressed-on aluminum wind-

screen and a threaded steel fin with pressed-in tracer pellets. The three piece aluminum sabot utilizes a nylon obturator and a polyethylene nose cap.

Function:

When fired, the weapon firing pin initiates the primer which ignites the propelling charge. Gases produced by the burning propellant propel the projectile through the barrel and ignite the tracer. Centrifugal, air, and gas pressure forces cause the obturator, sabot, and nose cap to discard upon leaving the barrel. The low drag subcaliber projectile travels along its trajectory stabilized by the fin and a small amount of spin. The tracer allows visual contact with the fired round as it travels downrange. Upon impact, kinetic energy stored in the subprojectile causes it to punch through an armored target and inflict considerable damage inside, prohibiting any further use of the target.

The fuze is designed for use with the 25mm, high explosive incendiary with tracer, M792 cartridge, fired from the M242 cannon.

Description:

The point-detonating (PD), seWdestroying (SD) M758 fuze is a delayed arming, PD SD type which also features graze impact sensitiv- ity against hard and soft ground media as well as super-quick functioning upon target impact. The fuze consists of an ogive assembly crimped to a base assembly which houses a piston assembly, a piston spring, a body assembly, and a setback spring. The ogive assembly consists of n nylon probe within a steel ogive crimped to il steel probe cap while the base assembly consists of a lead charge within a steel base. The piston spring separates the piston assembly, consisting of an aluminum piston base, a piston seal. a seal ring, a steel restrictor, and a steel firing pin from the body assembly consisting of a nylon upper body, an alumimml lower body, a steel roller weight, a body, a zinc rotor, a detona- tos, two steel lockwelghts and lockweight

:R 6007

springs which, in turn, separate from the base assembly by the setback spring.

fhnct ion: ---

Starting from the safe condition, acceleration forces. associated with projectile launch, cause the body assembly and piston assembly located within the fuze ogive to he simultaneously set hack to the rear of the fuze against the setback spring. Air originally in the bottom of the fuze is forced through ports into the cham- her ahnve the piston. The high spin fijrces, which occur ahnost simultaneously with the set- hack forces, serve three purposes. The spin effect causes two lockweights to move against their firing pin which keeps the motor in a snf‘e position. Spin also causes two balls to move out- ward into groove located around the inner part of the o.gice, locking the body assemhly rearward against the compressed force of the setback spring. Spin also causes a rubher piston seal to flare out against the bore of the ogive, resulting in necessury piston SCillillg action. As the projectile leaves the muzzle, the acceleration force dissipates and t,he piston becomes free to move forward under forces exerted by the piston spring. The rate of piston movement forward is controlled by air being forced through a porous metal restrictoc This action provides the required alming delay time to meet the fuze no-arm and all-arm requirements. As the piston approaches the forward position, the firing pin is withdrawn from the

rotor, allowing it to rotate to the armed position. Centrifugal force akting on the roller weight causes it to move into a groove and lock the rotor in the armed position.

Fuze M759 (formally designated as the XM714E6) is a point-detonating type with detonator and spitback charge. It is used with HEDP cartridge M789.

Function:

Prior to launch, the fuze detonator is housed in the rotor with the rotor locked in the safe position by the firing pin tip and two lockweights. On setback, the piston assembly (with f;.ring pin) and body assembly (with detonate! and rotor) are moved to the most rearward posi-

In addition, spin causes the piston seal to flare and engage the ogive sidewalls which elimi- nates the air flow path between the ogive and piston. Movement of the piston assembly (firing pin) to the forward or anned position is delayed due to the regulated flow of trapped nil through the restrictor until the projectile has traveled a minimum of 15 meters from the muz- AZ.
