1 Effect on uncovered soft targets
The effect on uncovered soft target has to be determined in gelatin*. The following terms have to be fulfilled:
Test conditions:
Barrel length: 100 mm
Range to target: 5 m
Number of rounds: 10
Angle of impact: 0° NATO
Gelatin: block size: 15 x 15 x 35 cm, (1 shot per block)
Point of impact: within a circle of 5 cm Ø around the middle of the face side of the gelatin block
Velocity measurement: 3 m ahead the muzzle
Criteria’s to be fulfilled:
Penetration depth: min. 20 cm, max. 30 cm; no single value should be beyond this range
Energy dissipation: max. 60 J/cm; no single value should be above this value
Over a range of at least 5 cm, at least 30 J/cm have to be dissipated
No fragmentation shall occur, minimum weight of the remaining bullet core should be greater than 98% (original bullet that entered the gelatin = 100%)
*For instance: „Ballistic 3“ from Gelita AG, Uferstr. 7, D-69412 Eberbach
Method: The Fissure Surface Area (FSA) method by Knappworst (each slice of the cross-section shall have a thickness of 20 mm)
2 Effect on covered soft targets
The effect on covered soft target has to be determined in gelatin* that is covered with PVC coated polyester fabric** (3 layers, size 15 x 15 cm).
Test conditions:
See #1
Criteria’s to be fulfilled:
Penetration depth: min. 20 cm, max. 35 cm; no single value should be beyond this range
Energy dissipation: max. 60 J/cm; no single value should be above this value
Over a range of at least 5 cm, at least 20 J/cm have to be dissipated
No fragmentation shall occur, minimum weight of the remaining bullet core should be greater than 98% (original bullet that entered the gelatin = 100%)
*see #1

4 Effect after penetrating glass
5 Effect on tires]
