Abstract

By employing the perforating model of a rigid sharp-nosed projectile, the present paper re-analyzes the previously published experimental data of APM2 bullet and its hard steel core perforating aluminum armor plates and high-strength steel plates, respectively. The test confirms that the hard steel core dominates in the perforation but the brass jacket, lead cap and end cap only have limited influence on the ballistics. With increasing the thickness of ductile metallic target plate, the inertia effect of target will arise and obviously affect the terminal ballistics.
