43 Bullet-resistant<br />

Bulldoze<br />

Auflegeladung; pétardage<br />

A mud covered or unconfined explosive charge fired in contact with a<br />

rock surface without the use of a bore hole. Synonymous with Adobe<br />

Charge and W Mud Cap.<br />

Bullet Hit Squib<br />

Filmeffektzünder; Squib<br />

Bullet hit Squibs are used in motion pictures and television to simulate<br />

ballistic impact of fired projectiles.<br />

What is refered to here are small, pyrotechnic, electrical devices with<br />

varying charges and containing several milligrams of a compound<br />

consisting of W Lead Azide, W Lead Styphnate, W Diazodinitrophenol<br />

and Tetrazole Derivatives.<br />

The initiating explosive material must be specially treated and phlegmatized<br />

to avoid the undesired byproduct of smoke and flash. One<br />

method achieves this by using an admixture of alkaline earth sulfates<br />

or by means of micro-encapsulation of the explosive crystals.<br />

These special electrical igniters are produced by the company J.<br />

<strong>Köhler</strong> Pyrotechnik in Schardenberg/Austria (www.pyrochemie.at).<br />

Bullet-resistant<br />

Kugelsicher; résistant au balles<br />

Magazine walls or doors of construction resistant to penetration of a<br />

bullet of 150-grain M2 ball ammunition having a nominal muzzle<br />

velocity of 2700 feet per second fired from a .30 caliber rifle from a<br />

distance of 100 feet perpendicular to the wall or door.<br />

When a magazine ceiling or roof is required to be Bullet-Resistant, the<br />

ceiling or roof shall be constructed of materials comparable to the side<br />

walls or of other materials which will withstand penetration of the bullet<br />

above described when fired at an angle of 45 degrees from the<br />

perpendicular.<br />

Tests to determine bullet resistance shall be conducted on test boards<br />

or empty magazines which shall resist penetration of 5 out of 5 shots<br />

placed independently of each other in an area at least 3 feet by 3 feet.<br />

If hardwood or softwood is used, the water content of the wood must<br />

not exceed 15%.
