Mar 15, 2013

Appl. No.:

13/836192

Inventors:

PCP TACTICAL, LLC - , US
Robert Lanse Padgett - Vero Beach FL, US

International Classification:

F42B 5/313

US Classification:

102466

Abstract:

An example of a polymer-based machine gun link can include a first side having a finger to hold a cartridge and a second side, opposite the first side, having at least two fingers to hold a second cartridge. A stem can join the first side and the second side the two fingers are smaller than the finger and spaced along the stem so that the finger fits between the two fingers. All of the finger, the two fingers, and the stem are made from polymer.

Abstract:

A polymer-based cartridge for subsonic ammunition with a first end having a projectile disposed in a mouth, a shoulder forming a bottleneck cartridge; and at least a polymer wall between the first end and a second end opposite the first. An insert is joined to the second end, having an extraction rim and groove, a primer pocket communicating with a flash hole, and the flash hole communicating with a propellant chamber. A sleeve section is also included and the sleeve section and the wall form the propellant chamber having a thickness at least 1.25 times greater than a standard thickness of a wall of a standard cartridge. The propellant chamber between the mouth and the insert is unobstructed and comprises a powder load having a load density greater than 40%.

Robert Lanse PADGETT - Vero Beach FL, US

Assignee:

PCP Tactical, LLC - Vero Beach FL

International Classification:

F42B 39/08

Abstract:

An example of a high strength polymer-based linked cartridge can have a casing inclosing a volume with a mouth and a neck extending away from the mouth. Next, there is a shoulder extending below the neck and a body extending below the shoulder. The body has a finger disposed on a first side of the body, the finger having a length and at least two fingers disposed on a second side of the body. The body also has a pawl catch disposed on a third side of the body. The at least two fingers can be spaced from each other a distance approximately equal to the length, and they can be configured to engage a finger disposed on a second cartridge.

International Classification:

F42B 5/30
F42B 5/02

Abstract:

A high strength polymer-based cartridge casing for blank or subsonic ammunition has a reduced volume and includes a mouth, a neck extending away from the mouth, and a shoulder extending below the neck. Additionally, the cartridge includes an extraction rim and a groove, a primer pocket and a flash hole in fluid communication with the reduced volume. An inner wall encloses the reduced volume. The mouth has a first diameter and the inner wall has a second diameter and the second diameter is approximately equal to the first diameter. Further, the neck, shoulder, rim, groove, and inner wall all comprise a polymer. Further, the inner wall can be a metallic sleeve overmolded by a polymer sheath. The reduced volume of the propellant chamber permits only enough propellant to propel a bullet engaged in the cartridge casing at subsonic speeds.
