METHOD OF MAKING SPLINTER SHELLS, AND SPLINTER PROJECTILES AND SPLINTER HEADS MADE ACCORDING TO THIS METHOD

摘要

A splinter shell and method of making same according to which at least two tubular bodies of strong but deformable material are coaxially arranged with regard to each other and located one within the other while being peripherally spaced from each other by the diameter of the desired splinter bodies to be incorporated in the shell, whereupon the splinter bodies are introduced between the tubular bodies and, while the outermost tubular body is confined on its outside, the inner peripheral surface of the innermost tubular body is subjected to radially outwardly directed pressure to cause all of the tubular bodies to deform partially around the splinter bodies and to sandwich the same between the adjacent tubular bodies.
