REPORT or; THE EFFECT OF YAW ON ARMOR PENETRATION AND OF GUN TEMPERATURE .ON YA.V

Project KST 101 - Determination of the Effect of the Pitch of Rifling on Caliber .50 Machine Gun.

Abstract

Section I - Effect of Yaw on .'.r.'ior Penetration

Firings were carried out in r:uliber .50 barrels of various twists of rifling in an of fort to determine the optimum 0:10 but with no con-

i ., clu3ivo roault. The armor penetration was determined as a fmction of thu v.-uv ;n<[ it was found that the effect of yaw was nocligiblo or. penetration as compared with its effect on accuracy at long ranges.

Soot ion II - Effect of gun Tgjnpgrature on Yaw

It was found that a relatively large percentage of rounds fired in a hot gun with caliber .50 10. Ball and A.i". boat-tail bullets have appreciable yaws whereas the 13. tracer flat-base bullet and several modifications of this ballot five much snullor yaws. Recommendations are m^.de for additional test3 with Modified bullets and a gun having a modifiod throat contour before any additional work is done on the determination of tho optimum twist of rifling.

In an attempt to inprove the performance of the caliber .50 Machine (run and ammunition, a study was begun of the effect of changing the pitch of rifling from the ctandard of one turn in !■) inches. The beet pitch of rlfllnp van to be determined for r.n fiinrr\tnitlon loaded to 2500 f/s Instrumental velocity rhere the criterion for best pitch of rifling was to be the penetration of armor plate at rj0 yards. After the best pitch 'van determined for the til bullet at 2^00 f/s both the Ml and T2E1 bullets were to be fired at velocities of 2'j>Uü f/s, 2700 f/s and jJOOO f/fc. From these firings, the most satisfactory

combination of pitch, bullet and velocity was to be fired for accuracy life In comparison with Ml ammunition.

A resume of the preliminary :,r,nults was made in the 2nd Indorsement to 0.0. ^71.1/^370, A.P.G. 47i.il/255-2. Three pitches of rifling (1 In 13-1/2", 1 In 14«, and 1 in 14-1/2") had been used In the firing but there was no difference) In the penetration obtained, In view of this lnconcluelvenesQ, the program of firings was amended.

The amendments in the program were made in order to obtain the following Information which was thought necessary for a rell- founded Judgement concerning the beet conhlnatlon of pitch of rifling, muzzle velocity and bullet:

(1) The armor penetration as a function of the yaw and velocity.

(2) The yaw and velocity of the bullet as a function of the range, of the pitch of rifling and of the number of rounds fired.

Since the gun is often fired when hot, information ic also desired of the effect of firing fron a hot gun. Thin may be obtained by heating a gun electrically and maintain- ing a certain temperature while firing.

Section I - Effect of Yaw on Armor Penetration

Caliber .50 Armor Penetration Firing

Four barrels were used with twists varying fi"om one turn in 15" to one turn in 12", at intervale of one inch. The bullets used were caliber .50 Ml A.P. and T2E1. The velocities at which the firings were carried out were approximately 2000, 2500 and 3000 f/s. The plate fired against was Class B, either 3" °** 1" thickness.

In ord?r to determine the effect of yaw on the pene- tration, yaw cards were placed at a distance of about one foot In front of the plate; it is assumed that the nutational yaw Is damped out at a range of 50 or 100 yards and that the yaw is due to precession alone. If thin is true, then one card, placed 12" In front of the plate, is sufficient for the measurement of the yaw. Velocities were measured in the usual way by the Aberdeen Chronograph. The penetration

TT

( ) in the armor plate was obtained by a special gauge which measured the slant penetration and the angle of the hole from the normal.

As the yaws obtained by firing the normal Ml and T2E1 bullets were negligible, several rounds were fired with nicked bullets, flicking consists of filing or cutting away a small section, weighing from 5 to 15 grains, from the Jacket of the bullet,"thus making the bullet eccentric and imparting to It a large yaw.

Data and Results:

» Table I at the end of this report gives a complete record of the measurements taken. The measured penetration is that obtained by means of the gauge and is taken along the axis of the hole. The correcved penetration is derived by multiplying this measured npnetratlon by the cosine of the angle between the normal and the axis of the hole. The yav:s are those obtained from the cards placed In front of the plate.

In order to be able to compare the relative efficiencies of the two bullets fired at various velocities with differ- ent twists of rifling, the dei.arre Coefficient (K) was

("\ computed for each round. Table II gives the mean K for ' eacn coHiDinaxion vxu-u «•>•, ^u.. ID nc^li^il/lc uini tuo in-

dividual K etc. when the yaw Is significant.

An examination of this table shows conclusively that the penetration at 100 yards IK independent of the twist of rifling. Ac between the two types of bullets, it is also obvious that the Ml A.P. in better than the T2E1,

Effect of Velocity on Penetration

As stated previously, the firings '-ere carried out at three different velocities, 2000 f/e, 2^00 f/s, and 3000 f/s. The dei"arre Coefficients are significantly higher for the rounds fired at 3000 f/s than for those fired at 25OO f/s. Since the yaws and the differences in velocity from round to round are negligible, it would be interesting to compare the actual penetrations obtained at each velocity for the two bullets.

While the penetrations are somewhat greater at a muzzle velocity of JOOO f/s than at 2^00 f/s, the increase is not as great as would be expected. However, it is not important that the penetrative power be an optimum at this velocity since, under service conditions, the striking velocity is considerably lower thun the muzzle velocity.

Penetration vc Yaw

As stated previously, in order to get significantly large yaws, resort had to be made to nicking, In thlc way abnormal yaws varying viciely from rounu xo rounu depending probably upon the nature of the nicking, were obtained. The deLIarre Coefficient:? were computed for these rounds and are shown plotted against the yaw on Plots No's 1 and 2. It is evident from these plots that the de.Uarre Coefficient increases with the angle of yaw, as was expected However, the rate of increase of the dei.arre as a function of the yaw IK hot the same for the three velocities. This rate was computed by the method of least euuares for the two bullets at a velocity of 2^00 f/s and found to be about .02, i.e., the del.Iarre Coefficient at any yaw is eoval to the value at 0° yaw plUE .02 times the angle of yaw in degrees.

The equations for the two bullets are

Ml A.P. : K = .91 + .0216

T2E1 K = 1.02 + .C19Ö.»

* In obtaining this equation the point corresponding to a yaw of 30 waa not considered because of its variation from tho other deter- minations.

111 m ' > *w

where K Is the deMarre Coefficient and 6 le the angle of yaw in degrees. An increase in K of .02 for each degree of yaw is not Important, since the bullet would be apt to miss its target completely at a yaw great enough to decrease signifi- cantly its penetration.

Oblique Impact

Several rounds were fired at oblique impact (30° from normal) with 0° yaw and also "ith nicked bullets giving larger yaws. With the same bullet, the penetration is, of course, greatest when the trajectory of the bullet is normal to the plate. A formula has been derived for the computation of the de!.!arre when the angle of penetration Is not normal to the plate:

K = K0fl + Msec. 0 - 1)J

where K is the cel'arre at normal Impact, Ö is the angle of impact measured from the normal and 7^ is an experimental constant. Tv.wa.6 computed for the t'"o bullets and found to be

Ml A.P. -2.20 T2E1 -2.67

From this, it is seen the Ml A,?, bullet is Better than the T2E1 at oblique impact as well c.s at normal.

The deMarre Coefficients for the T2E1 nicked bullets fired at J0C penetration are very much greater than those for the Ml i.V. niched bullets, as may be seen from Plots NOB. 1 and 2. This bears out the superiority of the Ml A.p. bullet.

Discussion of deMarre Coefficient

Reference has been made throughout this report to the deMarre Coefficient. Strictly speaking the coefficient computed and used is not the deMarre Coefficient but a function probably proportional to it. The dei-arre Coeffi- cient (K) is defined for the caliber ,50 bullet by the following equation;

K2 = iL^-L

6153 {7 where B. L. Is the Ballistic Limit and t is the thickness of plate penetrated. In those te6ts, however, the plate

,

was of 3" thickness so that it was never completely pene- trated; t was taken as the actual distance penetrated corrected for the angle of penetration by multiplying by the cosine of the angle that the hole in the plate makes with the normal. The result of measuring the thickness in this way is that the deMarre Coefficients obtained are some- what higher than they would be if t represented complete

« penetration.

For some of the firing with nicked bullets, the plate was placed at a distance of 50 yards in front of the muzzle. For the firing with nicked bullets at oblique penetrations, a 1" plate was substituted for the 3" plate. These changes should not have any significant effect on the results.

Sumrary of Results: Caliber .50 Plate Firings

From the caliber .50 armor plate firing data, no significant differences are discernible between the various twists of rifling used.

The Ml A.P. bullet is decidedly superior to the T2E1.

Although the penetration is slightly better at 3000 f/s velocity than at 2^00 f/s, the difference Is not nearly as

v ) great as would uu expecteu from an u priori conbid oration of the 20> increase in velocity. However, the rounds fired at 3000 f/s muzzle velocity will have greater penetrative power at long ranges than rounds fired at lover velocities.

The deMarre Coefficient is found to be approximately a linear function of the yaw, and may be expressed by the

i

equation

K m K + .02 6, o

where K is the deMarre at 0° and 5 le the yaw in degrees, the velocity being 2500 f/s. The yaw therefore, will be too great to admit accurate shooting before it will have an appreciable effect on the penetration.

Caliber .30 Armor Penetration Firings

To determine the effect of yaw on penetration of face- hardened plate, the caliber .30 M1922 A.P. bullet was fired against 1/^" plate. Large yaws were obtained either by firing from an old marred barrel or by nicking the bullets. In this series of firing the velocities and yaws were measured as in the caliber .^0 firing, but the penetrations obtained were Indicated only as either complete or partial

'..) since the depth could hardly be obtained on this type of plate.

1 ) The data obtained from these firings are given In Table IV at the end of this report; the striking velocities and the yaws are Included in this table. In order to present the data more clearly, Plots Noc. 3 a"d k were drawn up showing the Kinetic Energies against the yaws and also distinguishing between complete ^.nd partial penetrations. From a study of the plots it is evident that the greater the Kinetic Energy of the bullet, the better Is the chance of complete penetration; however, this is a truism which does not need these firings for confirmation. As far as the effect of yaw is concerned, the results are not conclusive; on the whole, a bullet with a pronounced yaw is not as effective as one without any yaw but it is not possible to develop an empirical relation between yaw and Ballistic Limit fron these firings.

Section II - Effect of Tcnoerature of Gun on Yaw»

To obtain data with resoect to the effect of the temperature of a gun on the yaw of a bullet, one 01 the caliber .50 barrels having a t^vist of rifling of one turn In 12" was heated electrically to a temperature of 3°0P C at the middle and 1700 C at the breech. Four types of bullets wer3 fired: the Service Ml Ball and three modi- fications of the Ml A,P. bullet as shown on the attached Drawings Nos. 2lYfb~k, -S and -C; the contour of the JJ1 Ball is similar to that of the Ml A P. and the weights are equal. The Ml Ball bullet and the S^o-G bullet (3 wide canne- lures) were fired at 2^00 f/s and 2500 f/s rhereas the other modified bullets were fired only at 2500 f/s. The firings were carried out with the gun heated and with the gun at room temperature. For the first 39 rounds, 6 yaw cards were placed at 5 foot intervals from 10' in front of the muzzle to 35'» for the remaining rounds either two or three cards were used. The yaws and the orientations were measured on all rounds and are given in Table V at the end of this report.

, - Two Orientation vs Range Charts (Noe. 5 Knd 6) were \ ' drawn up lor Rds, 1 and 6, III Ball fired in a hot gun at

2^00 f/s and 2900 f/e respectively. The observed slopes (tp') were found tc be .OÜ^v und ,0ri7n; the theoretical slope calculated fron the Moments of Inertia and the twist of rifling 1B .Orion. This agreement between the observed and computed elopes io proof that the bullet does not clip In the bore.

An examination of Table V reveals come rather- surprising results. The first round fired in this test (the gun had pre- viously been proof-fired about five rounds) gave, with Ml ball Ammunition at service velocity, a maximum yaw of 23°•* ®? the first 10 rounds, of which five were fired at service velocity and five at 2900 f/s, 5 rounds had yaws greater than 5°.

Tbe percent of yaws greater than 5° obtained during the entire test wore plotted against the round number on Plot No, 7

Plot Ho. 7 shows quite clearly that the curve represent- ing the yaws greater than 5° against the round number is of a U-shape with a very steep negative slope for the early rounds and a gradual positive slope for the later rounds. The word gradual is used only in a comparative sense because the increase in yaw for rounds fired can hardly be called gradual when 9 out of 12 rounds fired have yaws greater than

/ ) 10° in a run fired IPPS than l60 rounds, which actually is the case l'or the Ml firing at 2^00 r/c in a hot gun. For the Ml projectile fired at 2^00 f/s, all of the five rounds have yaws greater than 10° at about 1200 rounds when fired in a hot gun. The undercut bullet 2^76-0 is more accurate since none of the rounds had a yaw as great as 10° although 3 °ut of 10 rounds had yawo greater than 5° • Plot if'6 shows the results obtained with the undercut hill bullets. The erratic results obtainrd in the firing of the first for rounds were probably caused by the rough finish of the bore due to its newness.

After the firings in the 1 in 12" gun were completed, a similar test was run in a gun having a twist of 1 in 14-1/2". Ten rounds of Ml ball were fired in a hot gun at 2fj00 f/e for yaw, 10 rounds at 2^00 f/s and 200 rounds In a hot gun at 2^00 f/s without yaw cards. This sequence of firing wa6 repeated five tines with the additional firing of several rounds of Ml Tracer and Modified Ml Tracer (260I-G) at each velocity. The percentage of rounds having yaws greater than 5° were plotted against the round number on Plot No. 9. There does not appear to be a great deal of difference between the two guns '"hen firing Ml boll

( ) Ammunition; neither gives satisfactory results. Of the tracer bullets fired, only one round of IS fired had a yaw greater than 5°. The tracer bullet differs from the Ml Ball in that it has no boat-tall and therefore has a much larger bearing surface.

In view of the very promising results obtained with the Tracer Bullet a more thorough test was made, firing twenty rounds of each of 5 types of bullets, all from a hot gun at 2900 f/s velocity. The per cent of rounds having yaws greater than 5° &re given in the tabulation below:

It is obvious, frnm an examination of these results, that the flat base bullet is superior, at least as far as initial yaw is concerned. The advantage of the boat-tail is hardly significant at velocities above that of sound; the decided superiority of the flat-base bullet in accuracy certninly compensates for the slight Increase in air re- sistance of the bullet.

The Kl Tracer, llodlf. #1 (2601-C), Is out down to .500" diameter at a point ,Uo" from the base. The cartridge case was crimped at this point, which results in the bullet seating forward by .305"« 1'his is essentially the bullet designed by Colonel Zornig (Drawing ^8129,507) and referred to in the 1st Ind. 0.0. hjZ^U-ßS^l. It did not result in any improvement in accuracy over the Standard Tracer but in an old gun, the lands of which have been eroded at the breech, increasing the seating might be desirable in order to have the bullet in contact with the lands before firing and thus be oriented properly. The over-all dimensions of cartridge and bullet is increased, making it impossible to fire this round in a present type belt-loaded Cal. .50

\ ) machine pun. However, a barrel with a modified throat contour to give a similar effect of increased original bearing length without the use of a lor, er cartridge has been received.

In order to teat the Tracer bulleto for slippage, a round of each type was fired from a 1 in 15" gun for yaw and orientation. Plots Nos. 10-12 show the orientation vs distance from the muzzle for the three bullets. A comparison of the observed and computed values of <p' is given below;

Computed (from moments of Inertia) ,072TT

Observed - MI Tracer .071n M " Mod. No. 1 ,072n H " Mod. No.-2 ,0?3n

The close agreement betveen observed and calculated values shows that the bullets gain full spin In the bore. Since they have smaller initial yaws, they are undoubtedly

' ) more accurate at longer ranges than the Ball Ml.

Conclusions

The large yaws obtained in the firing of the Caliber .50 Ml bullet in a hot new gun, and the fact that the gun will almost always be hot under service conditions, make a discontinuance of the test seen advisable. There is no apparent reason for choosing the best of a number of pitches of rifling from the point of view of accxiracy life when a new gun gives such poor results

< ;

.t>»

It appears that a better bullet should be developed before an attempt ie made to decide upon the pitch of rifling or to raise the velocity. Some of the results reported in this test should be suggestive in this connection.

In view of the small effect of yaw on armor penetration, the yaw is Important, only as one of the determinants of the accuracy, since the bullet "111 be inaccurate due to its yaw before it ^m decrease significantly in penetrative power. It is not necessary, therefore, to measure yaw or
