Deformation Characteristics of One Lot (LC SP412) of 5.56mm M-193 Ammunition

Abstract

The deformation characteristics of one lot of 5.56mm M-193 ammunition are presented and discussed. Physical measurements of the ammunition were taken before and after launch and the results compared on an individual basis. Rounds were launched at standard muzzle velocity, recovered and refired at a reduced velocity and compared with other rounds launched only at the same reduced velocity. Several before and after launch rounds were contour measured and comparisons were made on the shape of the projectile.
