TRACER PROJECTILE AND METHOD FOR THE APPLICATION OF A TRACER DEVICE IN A TRACER PROJECTILE

摘要

The invention relates to a jacketed tracer projectile (1) intended for small-caliber and medium-caliber weapons comprising a metal core (3) comprising a tracer device (4), in particular in the form of a pyrotechnic tracer charge, disposed inside a cavity (5) in the metal core (3) in the rear part of the projectile (1), characterized in that the cavity (5) is designed to prevent the tracer device (4) from becoming separated from the cavity (5) during the discharge phase of the tracer projectile (1). The cross-sectional area S1,2 of the cavity (5) is typically of polygonal execution. The invention also relates to a method for the application of the tracer device (4) in the tracer projectile (1).
