Homogenous Service Bullets – Ricochet on Solid Surface
Original language description
In last two decades, an increase in the use of ammunition with homogenous bullets made of copper alloy by European police forces has been observed. The new ammunition has a number of features beneficial for use by law enforcement bodies. These bullets expand relatively reliably in soft targets thus reducing threats to bystanders (uninvolved persons) present at the scene of shooting. However, in case of shooting on cars or similar hard targets, the penetrating effect of this ammunition is good. In the car tires the bullets usually create holes large enough to cause a rapid air pressure decrease. Being substantially tougher than other bullets, the homogenous copper alloy bullets bring new properties concerning the ricochet off a solid surface. Our presentation informs about the behavior of the bullets mentioned hereinbefore after they have impacted the surface of a concrete block (concrete brick) and compares this ammunition to the “classic construction” lead core bullets.
