Test 9 - SAA Flashcards
How many pellets in the Cart 12G Crowd Dispersal M1013?
18 PVC rubber ball pellets
How does a 5.56mm/SAA round work?
On functioning of the weapon the firing pin strikes the primer which is situated in the base of the case. This crushes the priming mixture against the anvil in the primer. The primer composition functions and flashes through to the propellant in the cartridge case, in turn igniting the propellant. The resulting burning produces hot expanding gases which act on the base of the projectile and drive it forward. As the projectile is driven forward, spin is imparted as a result of the external surface of the projectile engaging in the rifling of the barrel. The spin provides stability to the projectile during flight.
** 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?

How does a tracer round work?
In the case of the tracer projectile, the hot propellant gases, at the same time as propelling the projectile forward, burn through the tracer closure disc at the base of the projectile and causes ignition of the igniter composition/tracer element. This then transfers to the tracer composition which burns with a red flame to provide the firer with a visual trace of the projectile’s trajectory.
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 is the Propellant composition, type and weight used in .50cal F1? (3)

What is SLAP-T used in?
M1A1 Abrams AIMTEST subcal training system
** How does API-T work?
The burning propellant gases burn through the tracer closure disc in the base of the projectile, causes ignition of the igniter composition and tracer composition. Upon impact, the incendiary composition ignites by means of adiabatic heating resulting in igniting any flammable materials within tgt area.
** How does 12.7mm MP NM140 work?
- On impact and the commencement of penetration, the nose of the projectile is compressed and the incendiary composition is ignited.
- As the projectile passes through the target, pressure continues to build within the nose and the incendiary composition ignites the HE.
- With increased pressure build up, deflagration turns to detonation, producing blast and fragments.
- The second incendiary charge then ignites and burns for approx. 1 second
How is the NM140 bullet secured to the cart case?
Its secured by coning
How is the .50cal ball secured to the cart case?
Knurled cannelure used for crimping
How many pellets, diameter, weight are in the 12G Super Range No. 5?
- dia: 2.80mm. weight:32g
How many pellets and diameter are in the 12G Super-X No. 6?
338
What are the minimum and maximum range for 9mm Paint FX?
2-200m
** How do Centre Fire Rounds function?
- On firing the pin strikes the boxer type primer
- Crushes the anvil against the priming mixture in
the primer - Ignites the composition and flashes through the
case hole into the cart case - Propellant is ignited and resultant burning
produces hot expanding gases - Gases act on base of projectile to drive forward
through the barrel and act on case mouth forcing
it outwards against breech to form a gas seal
What is the propellant of Cart .50cal Blank F3
AP-70N - Double base
What are the Main differences between Cart .50cal API M8 and API-T M20? (3)
- Different propellants
- M20 has tracer element
- Markings on the Projectile (silver vs silver and red)
How is the Cart connected to the proj of the Cart .50cal Ball F1?
- Knurled cannelure is formed in the envelope approx 2/3rd of the way down from the tip of the projectile. The cannelure is used for crimping the mouth of the CC to the proj assembly.
What is the Primer type of the Cart 5.56mm M855?
Boxer, M41
Explain how Cart 5.56mm functions from firing to impact?
On functioning of the weapon, the firing pin strikes the primer which is situated in the base of the cartridge case. This crushes the priming mixture against the anvil in the primer. The primer composition functions and flashes through to the propellant in the cartridge case, in turn igniting the propellant. The resulting burning produces hot expanding gases which act on the base of the projectile and drive it forward. As the projectile is driven forward, spin is imparted as a result of the external surface of the projectile engaging in the rifling of the barrel. The spin provides stability to the projectile during flight. On impact with the target, the strength of the steel nose combined with the mass of the lead core and the overall projectile velocity, provide a penetration capability.
