ASSIGNMENT

Rifle cartridges with armor-piercing and incendiary projectiles (API) are intended to fight the living beings and light armored objectives. An incendiary mix inside the projectile initiates the ignition of flammable materials placed within the striking range. Cartridges are designed for:

7,62 mm UKM 2000 machine gun; 7,62 mm MG3 machine gun; 7,62 mm G3 machine gun; 7,62 mm SIG SAUER machine gun; 7,62 mm FN MAG machine gun; 7,62 mm FN FAL machine gun; other types of weapon adapted to this type of ammunition.


Cartridge components: • a brass cartridge case; • a projectile composed of the following elements:

o a brass jacket; o a steel core; o a lead jacket; o an incendiary composition;

• a non-corrosive Berdan/Boxer primer; • a propellant charge.

The top of the cartridge is painted in silver colour to the height 4÷6 mm.

Cartridge weight 23,2 ÷ 24,5g Cartridge length 70,2 ÷ 71 mm Projectile weight 9,35 ÷ 9,55 g Propellant charge weight ~ 3,0 g (46,30gr) Incendiary composition weight 0,3 ± 0,01 g (4,63 ± 0,15 gr) Average velocity of the cartridge V25 = 825 ± 10 m/s

ASSIGNMENT

The ammunition is used for training and practicing at shooting-ranges which have restricted protection areas and at the garrison shooting-ranges.


The ammunition with OR bullets has shorter range at about 50 % from the live ammunition of the same caliber. The cartridge keep the effectiveness of hitting the target during shooting with the use of standard optical instruments, typically used in personal weapon, within the distance:

1. for 9x18 Makarow

up to 100 m shooting from PM-63 machine gun

up to 50 m shooting from P-64 and P-83 gun

2. for 9x19 Parabellum

up to 150 m shooting from PM-84P machine gun

up to 50 m shooting from WIST 94 gun

3. for 7,62x51; 7,62x54R; 7,62x39 – up to 300 m
