There is disclosed a re-usable ammunition cartridge (10) for firing a solid cylindrical round of substantial diameter, such as a baton round (11), the cartridge being cylindrical and open at one end (12) through which the round (11) is taken in order to load the cartridge and thereby define an enclosed space (13) between the inner end (14) of the round (11) and the opposite end (15) of the cartridge. A headed socket (16) is provided at the firing end (15) of the cartridge, and defines a circular passage for receiving a small cartridge blank, such as a 0.38 special blank (17), which contains a propellant charge, and which serves to provide the required propelling force to eject the round (11) upon firing of the cartridge (10). A gas diffuser (18) is arranged in the enclosed space (13) and is also in communication with the socket (16), the diffuser being operative to diffuse the gas generated by the firing of the blank (17) into the enclosed space (13), whereby this applies a propelling force to the inner end (14) of the round (11). <IMAGE> |
