Title:
GUN FIRING METHOD FOR DISPERSION OF PROJECTILES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004099699
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for the dispersion of projectiles from guns whereby the projectiles are modified by moving the center of mass of the projectile away from its central axis. This in combination with being fired from a rifled gun barrel will impart velocity to the projectile upon exiting the gun barrel at right angles to the barrel. This velocity along with the higher muzzle velocity will cause the modified projectile to diverge away from the trajectory of a standard projectile. The magnitude of the divergence will vary with the distance the projectile's center of mass is away from its central axis, and the placement of the modified projectile strikes around the bull's-eye will be determined by the loading orientation of the cartridge in the chamber of the gun. Firing a multiplicity of standard and modified projectiles will produce an accurate dispersion pattern on a target.
