Detailed study SAA Flashcards
How many pellets in the Cart 12G Crowd Dispersal M1013?
18 PVC rubber ball pellets
What are the seven parts to the M1013?
Crimp Upper Wad Shell Case 18 Rubber Balls Lower Wad Smokeless Powder Primer
How does a 5.56mm round work?
On firing, the firing pin strikes boxer type primer
crushes the priming mixture against anvil
Priming comp ignites and flashes through to propellant in cart case igniting propellant.
Produces hot expanding gases which act on base of proj and drive it forward.
Spin is emparted as projectile engages in rifling in bore. spin provides stability in flight.
What propellant does 5.56mm Ball F1 use?
AR2210 - Single based
What propellant does 5.56mm Spec Ball LR M262 Mod 1 use?
0.84g Double based
What propellant does 5.56mm Ball M855 use?
WC844 Double based
What propellant does 5.56mm Ball M855A1 use?
SMP 842 Double based
What is the target effect of a 5.56mm AP AP3 M995?
Is able to penetrate 12mm Type 3 Rolled Homogenous Armour at 100m and 3.5mm standard NATO plate at 600m
What weapon system uses .223?
M4A1
What weapon system uses .338?
Sniper Blaser R93 Tactical 2
How does a tracer round work?
Heat generated from ignition of propellant ignites tracer composition
What are the parameters for 5.56mm tracer?
-46˚c to +49˚c
What are the parameters for 9mm?
Firing limits - -6˚c to +63˚c
What propellant is used in .50cal F1?
Mulwala AR2211 single based - 16g
What propellant is used in .50cal M33?
WC860 Double based - 15.2g
What is SLAP-T used in?
M1A1 Abrams AIMTEST training barrel
How does 12.7 NM140 work?
On impact the nose of each projectile is compressed and the incendiary ignited
As the projectile passes through the target, pressure continues to build up within the nose and the incendiary composition ignites the high explosive
Deflagration turns to detonation, producing blast and frag. The second incendiary charge then ignites and burns for approx. 1 second
How is NM140 projectile secured to the cart case?
It’s secured by coning
How is the .50 Cal ball secured to the cart case?
Knurled cannelure used for crimping
How many pellets are in the 12g Super ranger no 5 shot?
248
How many pellets are in the 12G super no 6 shot?
338
What are the min and max range for 9mm paint fx?
2-200m
must wear PPE to mitigate injury
What propellant is in Cart .50cal blank F3 single?
AP-70N- Double base
What color is proj of Cart .50cal API M8?
From the tip to 16mm - silver
What color is proj of Cart .50cal API-T M20?
Red 8mm from tip then 8mm-16mm silver
What happens on impact of cart .50cal API-T M20?
On impact with target at high velocity, the incendiary comp ignites by adiabatic heating resulting in igniting any present flammable materials in the target area
What are the differences between API m8 and API-T M20?
different propellants
m20 has tracer element
markings of the projectile
What primer is in m855a1?
m41 boxer
Explain m855a1 penetration
On impact with the target the strength of the steel nose combined with the mass of the copper alloy core, and the overall projectile velocity, provide a penetration capability.
Operating limits for 7.62 x 51 lapua?
Rate of fire not greater than 5rpm
Max fire duration 4 mins
minimum 2min cool down with bolt open
max 100 rounds before complete weapon clean
Tracer distance for 7.62mm m62
visible at 140m, burnt out approx 775m
What is the use of the 12g bird frite?
Dispersal of birds from airfields
Used by RAN to control crews of vessels without lethal force
what is the use of the Cart 12G M1013?
Disperse, dissuade and incapacitate rioters
Why is 12g rifled slug rifled?
Optimum contact whilst reducing wear on barrel
Allows slug to pass through barrel without deformation
