PCT No. PCT/GB94/01779 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 13, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 13, 1996 PCT Filed Aug. 15, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/05573 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 23, 1995A cartridge has a case comprising a body (10) housed telescopically within a sleeve (14). The body encloses a main chamber (21) which contains gas under pressure, and a valve mechanism for venting gas from the chamber (21) into an expansion chamber (61). The pressure of the gas in the expansion chamber causes the body (10) to move rearwardly relative to the sleeve (14) to apply a force to the breech block of the weapon in which the cartridge is used, thereby to initiate the reloading cycle. Gas is vented from the expansion chamber to eject a projectile when a spigot (51) projecting from the body is withdrawn from an aperture (53) in the end wall of the sleeve. |
