- Abstract
To ensure the safety of users like hunters and sports shooters, the dynamic pressure inside an ammunition cartridge must not exceed a maximum value. We have investigated the reproducibility of the dynamic measurement of the gas pressure inside civilian ammunition cartridges during firing, when following the rules formulated by the Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms (C. I. P.). We find an in-house spread of 0.8 % between maximum and minimum pressure for runs with the same barrel and of 1.8 % among a set of three barrels. This sets a baseline for the expected agreement in measurement comparisons between different laboratories. Furthermore, a difference of more than 3 % is found in a preliminary study of the influence of ammunition storage conditions.
