Aluminum bullet topics on hunter forums - not news. Moreover, conversations are long and calm. Okay, hunters are specific people, probably, even fixated on their own weapons and ammunition to it. Pour bullets, shoot them, share their impressions. Everything is in order.

Aluminum bullet: the future for the secret services or a reason to laugh?




Surprisingly, but somehow unnoticed, conversations about aluminum bullets have already been registered and are being conducted at military forums.

Someone "on a big secret" talks about new bullets for special forces. Someone is arming them with the police. Someone national guard. And it looks quite respectable.

The low weight of aluminum gives a significant "slimming" of the bullet, and therefore, increases the initial velocity while maintaining the same charge. A faster bullet has a greater stopping effect than a heavy lead bullet.

Let's try to understand the essence of the issue. Is it possible to arm any structures with aluminum bullets?

Let's start with a stop action. Indeed, the energy of a light bullet will be higher than heavy. But this advantage will operate at a very short distance. Literally in 20-100 meters, depending on the type of weapon, the bullet will turn into a traumatic one, and then generally into a stone for a slingshot.

For a long-barreled weapon, such a bullet is the absolute absurdity. There is enough stopping action, and the direct shot range and effective range is much more important than the stopping action. So, there is a short-barreled weapon. Pistols

Beautiful idea. A policeman or guardsman with a pistol, who calmly uses it even in the presence of civilians around. The bullet strikes at a distance of 20-40 meters. Next - bruises and bumps for bystanders.

In this case, this policeman shoots much better than he did before, with normal ammunition. Just because the light ammunition will give less recoil barrel. Aiming will be easier. Criminals at close range are amazed more effectively.

And now let's look a little wider. And if the criminal also has a weapon? With a normal heavy bullet? And the criminal will have the same distance as the policeman. Only the fire he will open at least ten meters earlier.

But this is not the main thing.

What to do if the offender hides in the bushes or behind a sandy, earthen, or even wooden shelter? What happens then? A quick but light bullet dramatically loses its advantages. The penetrating ability of such a bullet decreases sharply due to the rapid transfer of energy to the target. In this case, the obstacle ...

A bullet passed through the plywood door and turned into a piece of metal that the boy shoots with a slingshot at sparrows.

Imagine a fairly common situation: the use of weapons by the person who is in the car. The effect of a bullet hit on the glass will be about the same as in a wooden wall. Especially in Lobovyk from the "triplex". Perhaps the bullet will pass through the glass, but to hit the offender so as to neutralize him for sure, can not. The main energy goes to the glass.

Modern glass? Triple? More? You begin to understand that in this case a pistol with a light aluminum bullet becomes just a toy. The method of causing light wounds at best. Shards of glass ...

And if the street is such a rare occurrence as the wind? A light bullet with a large caliber, and hence a large sail, will fly to where the gusts of this same wind will direct it. Can you imagine the quality of shooting?

If in general, all this vague vertezh on aluminum bullets is nothing more than just trying to earn a cheap authority on knowing what tomorrow may be.

In principle, aluminum already has an application in the production of bullets. In particular, cartridges with increased armor penetration. Type 9х19 PBPgzh (according to 7Н31). There the shirt is made of aluminum alloy. The bullet works great on 2 class body armor.



There is another very important factor that reduces the possibility of applying aluminum to zero. Here we will immediately emphasize that we are talking about aluminum, since no alloys were used in pseudo-articles.

Any product made of aluminum very quickly becomes covered with a thin layer of oxide. This compound is known as corundum. Al2O3 On the bullet layer will be a 1-3 micron. Not at all critical. But he will!

What is corundum? One of the best abrasives to date. No worse than diamond chips, but cheaper by an order of magnitude.

And what will the abrasive material do with the barrel of a pistol? Anyway, with any trunk? I think no need to tell. Hello cuts in particular, and the trunk as a whole. Wear will be huge.

Well, for those who really want to know more about such bullets, I will talk about the excellent replacement of aluminum. More precisely, about the bullet that has already been developed. It is a half-shell bullet with a bare, hardened core in a plastic shirt.

The bullet turned out exactly the way aluminum supporters described. Light, with a high initial speed, with a small dangerous interval. But at the same time, the deficiencies mentioned above were eliminated in this pool.

When hit in a bulletproof vest, such a bullet acts like a regular sub-caliber armor-piercing bullet. The core works. But when it enters the soft tissues of the human body, the half-shell has sufficient speed so that the stopping effect of the bullet is higher than that of ordinary ammunition.

But if you look at the trends in the development of weapons for the police and special services, you can see an even simpler solution. The decision that designers have come to for a long time. Caliber pistols and revolvers for special services began to increase.

At the same time, bullets for such weapons have changed. The designers returned to the expansive pool. Soft, rapidly losing speed, but having tremendous stopping power. Deaths became less, but injuries became more serious.

In general, combined bullets reign in the modern world. The development of weapons requires more and more new types of ammunition, and accordingly, new materials for their production. It is possible that the time will come and aluminum. But definitely in any combination or alloy. Anything is possible, for never say never.

              Tigers, as I recall, are worn in cases in a discharged state. It is impossible to use a weapon right away (until you get it out of the case, while you charge). But the short barrel can be used immediately, "on emotions." And how are you going to check the adequacy of citizens? Any person can be absolutely adequate in everyday life, but in a stressful situation they will lose their brakes and build several corpses. Remember how we periodically resolve disputes on the roads (and not only on the roads). Previously, fists, mounts and bats were used, now they are often injured, will they shoot from battle trunks tomorrow?

                Exactly. Must bear discharged, even pneuma. And this is true. First of all, you need to introduce a normal law on self-defense and teach / force the BODIES to understand such issues. Now I can’t calmly shove a drunk who climbed into my yard with a shovel until he stabs me with a rose from a bottle / screwdriver or whatever he has, because otherwise I will be to blame, as I would cause bodily harm before the danger to life appeared, and I have no right to protect property. I must call the police, wait for them and watch him rub something and leave.

                    Most likely, near-zero. But, in order to guarantee the killing of a .22 caliber, you need to either get into the eye or spend a lot of rounds. In addition, it is possible to prohibit the carrying of .22 caliber weapons - and the question will disappear.

                  Trauma on emotions is used to the fullest even with the slightest conflict, a firearm will also be used. The people are emotional and predisposed to aggression, which is the result of the state of the state and society.
                  Hidden carrying short-barreled weapons will predetermine an increase in crimes that occurred even when the decision to scare off and which do not correspond to the situation of use. For example, many car killings due to speeding are not reduced, although they are punished. So it will be with the short-barrels, a lot of killings will not reduce the use of weapons, and self-preservation skills will manifest themselves only in a generation, with constant annual sets of victims - you can’t even imagine the numbers for the whole country and for decades - and this is the tragedy of families, personalities .. Example The United States, how many innocent and guilty people were killed over the centuries, with permissive laws for the short barrel, who tried to calculate, so for a million the bill would obviously go ... The short barrel is not a panacea, but an aggravation ...

                        This is normal in a dispute on such a topic. From supporters of legalization, as a rule, facts, statistics, arguments, and from opponents nothing but emotions and some kind of Russophobic nonsense.

                That’s why the trauma goes according to what they think: "This is trauma, you can’t kill him." And they begin to wave about and without reason. And the villains who are also trying to frighten not a timid dozen and rod directly to the trunk. And when the perversion called traumatic weapons disappears, then every gun that gets out in a similar situation (I mean a legally acquired barrel) will clearly understand "I’ll kill now and sit down for ten years or kill me." The idea is too simple to forget it even in a state of passion. Just when the consequences become unimportant it no longer matters what you have in your hands, a gun or a kitchen knife or a brick.

                  I agree with you, but to kill with a knife or brick is still much more difficult. Both physically and purely psychologically.

And not baby tremors and hugs, but a real scuffle. Evening, a nervous day at work, crowded transport, the nerves simply could not stand it, and away we go. Who can guarantee that in such a situation one of them would not grab the barrel and start firing?

              Which way is it? Judging by the short-barreled fans I know, in the nearest gateway the trunk will take away their punks by simply saying: “Boo!”. And it will begin to use it as an instrument of crime. Even in the states, the three most common criminal types of pistols are weapons that were sold domestically and stolen / stolen.

          Respected Mordvin 3, I can also recommend a well-sharpened nail 10 cm with a cardboard circle fully inserted. In one colony, a guard dog was killed with such meters for 15 "convicts". And somehow the "side-man" sharpened the other with an imprisoned Soviet nickel - threw it like a shuriken.
          And on the question of lead bullets, I clearly wrote at one time that when it gets into any object, it is deformed. And suitable for identification bullets are obtained only when shooting at a ballistic target. This is a pipe similar to a drawing tube with silicone filler.

        You do not understand the meaning of "nail with plumage." There were industrial reusable bullets, where a fluffy tail of bristle, playing the role of a wad, was pressed into a sub-caliber steel core. He shot with these, accuracy depended on the state of plumage. Children shoot at random, because the shortage of bullets was constant. The best (in the USSR) bullet-glasses were “Diabolo”, they were supplied to athletes, the rest were ordinary “caps” ...

      Raven Maybe pigeons? A crow is another terminator, in profile in a folded wing it is sometimes difficult to knock it out of small things from the first shot (from 100 m if). A raven once shot from powerful pneumatics (local hunting farms just moaned from them). At a standard speed of 0,5 g of a Diablo type bullet of 220-230 m / s at 50 meters, it was possible to pick up a crow from the first shot only in the chest full-face or in the head. A crow, like a rat, is very strong on a wound and even a mortally wounded one can fly quite far.
      If there are no bullets for pneumatics, it is better to use rolled wire No. 00 instead of wire cutters. It is clearly suited for caliber and weight.

    “Any aluminum product is quickly coated with a thin layer of oxide. This compound is known as corundum. Al2O3 The pool will be 1-3 microns thick. Not critical at all. But it will!”

      April 16 2018 09: 34
      The chemical composition is just the same corundum. A rather thick oxide film obtained by precipitation (chemical or electrochemical method) is also very hard. In any case - the file "does not take" - slides over the surface until you break the film somewhere.
      1. +5
        April 16 2018 12: 44
        In order for aluminum oxide to become corundum, it must undergo the corresponding phase changes and acquire the corresponding crystalline structure.
        The natural oxide film formed in the air on the surface of aluminum is practically not destroyed in the atmosphere, water and in oxidizing environments. However, the film thickness is very small (0 01 - 0 1 micron) and it can be easily mechanically damaged.
        There are many different reports regarding the structure of this film, which is formed at low temperature using air, but in most cases it is recognized as amorphous, and its external surface is aluminum hydroxide.
        And only at temperatures above 450ºC does crystalline Al2O3 form - i.e. corundum.
        Therefore, aluminum and especially its alloys are usually subjected to artificial oxidation, creating a film of greater thickness. Oxidation can be carried out chemically and electrochemically. Mostly they use the electrochemical method of anodic oxidation, in which the coating is obtained in better quality. This film will be strong.
        Graphite and diamond are also the same in chemical composition - carbon.
        Only the properties are different.

    Indeed, the energy of a light bullet will be higher than heavy.
    No! The energy will be the same! And the momentum will decrease.
    And if the street is such a rare occurrence as the wind?
    But nothing: taking into account the effective range and speed, even with a hurricane wind, the displacement will be insignificant.
    Any aluminum product is quickly coated with a thin layer of oxide. This compound is known as corundum. Al2O3 On the pool, the layer will be 1-3 microns.
    Not everything is so scary: in order to turn into a terrible abrasive, lumine oxide also needs to crystallize! You can make a "shawarma" - a half-shell bullet ... more precisely, it’s necessary, because aluminum will clog rifles, as will lead.
    What is corundum? One of the best abrasives to date. No worse than diamond chips, but cheaper by an order of magnitude.
    Corundum, it is, of course, according to Mohs (scale scratching) 9, and diamond - 10, but here in hardness 150 times approximately different.
    Well, for those who really want to know more about such bullets, I’ll talk about a great replacement for aluminum.
    Did not guess! Aluminum bullets were designed for premiseswhere the rebound and spark are dangerous. They will not ricochet or sparkle. Generally.

    In my opinion, an aluminum bullet has a “right to life” but in a very narrow niche. A gun and possibly a machine gun for police operations in the city. Given that most “police” fire contacts occur at 5-11 meters, then a loss of speed of 40 is already useful for the safety of others, and high deformability will provide a high stopping effect, which is also useful. Well, as for corundum, it’s not even funny ... how many police shoot there ... and no one bothers to copper or in any other way anodize the surface of the bullet. Other advantages of an aluminum panel are already mentioned.

      And that cartridge that you are talking about is called the GUN CARTRIDGE WITH A SMALL PUNCHING ABILITY “SP-8”. Developed in the mid-80s at TsNIItochmash by order of the KGB of the USSR.

      The bullet consists of a bimetallic shell in the form of a cup with a flat bottom and an animated head, a plastic core in the head and a lead in the tail of the bullet.
      The shell material is tompac, the core material is lead with an admixture of antimony.
      There is no aluminum in the design of these cartridges.

    Zhuk remembered something, with his encyclopedia ... He had, about a Shobo pistol, like a Swedish one, and his cartridge, a large caliber with an aluminum bullet and a wooden core ...

      The cartridges for the 11,35 mm caliber Shouboe pistol (.45 Schouboe, 11.35x17 mm) were equipped with a light bullet consisting of a copper-nickel shirt, a wooden core and an aluminum bottom sleeve.
      So to call an aluminum bullet would be wrong.
      The gun, by the way, is Danish.

    “But if you look at the development trends of weapons for the police and special services, you can see an even simpler solution. The solution that designers have come to a long time ago. The calibres of pistols and revolvers for special services began to increase.”
    Authors are stuck in the 80s. The FBI began to move from .40 to 9mm 10 years ago.

    "stopping action of a bullet"
    It's not a caliber, it's a shot placement

      After the caliber began to increase, the local police departments saw that the police could not get where they needed it.

      So today, when I write this, the police departments and the FBI are switching back to 9x19.
      Cheaper and more efficient. Anyway, shoot twice.

    Aluminum is a very soft metal, when passing through the bore, the trunk will be covered with a thin layer of aluminum. It’s like with lead bullets (shot) - bleeding the bore

    Here, of course, some distortion when considering the situation with the police. And if the criminal ... ("And if he was carrying cartridges?") And if the criminal is with a gun? So the patrol officers should go with them too? (Recently, they really went, which is very bad.) But what about a grenade? So the police also need to arm themselves with grenades?
    The answer here is simple. The regular police (such as patrol) should arm themselves on the principle of reasonable sufficiency: against aggressive hooligans or small bandits. Special forces should work against serious criminals. (For this, by the way, the National Guard was created: so that there wouldn’t be more powerful weapons left in the Ministry of Internal Affairs than pistols. Well, triggered by alarm NG can be armed even with machine guns.)

    Conserp,
    Do you know a joke about cucumbers? Well, where cucumbers cause breast cancer because 100% of those who eat them ate. It’s just stupid to compare LA and any town in Wyoming by crime rate, regardless of what kind of legislation there is regarding weapons.

    Conserp,
    It is clear that in megacities crime will be higher than the provinces. Here is a list of states with the highest crime rate.
    Louisiana;
    Nevada;
    California;
    Florida;
    Tennessee
    Alabama;
    Texas;
    Arkansas
    South Carolina;
    Maryland.
    At the same time, the level of crime does not depend on what policy the authorities have in relation to firearms. The decisive factor is the geographical location, as well as how actively the prevention and suppression of crimes is being conducted. For example, Detroit police are almost completely disbanded due to lack of funds, which negatively affects the criminal situation.

    Barnaul makes bullets in a steel, lightly plated tompakom shirt.

    When you shoot from Glock with Barnaul, a sheaf of sparks flies out of the barrel and this is with Glokovsky's hexanonal rifling. On traditional rifling - more sparks. Does the trunk wear out? Well, in general, yes, with different weapons - in different ways, but wears out.

    To make the barrel less wear out and for extra speed the bullets cover it with something like Teflon. An example is the high-speed and lightweight self-defense bullet of the Fiocchi Black Mamba cartridge, where the shell is made of soft tombac covered with black teflon.
