Does anyone know how artillery shells (Not fireworks) are made,

The part i am most interested is the ignition cap.

How do they make it.

Do you have a purpose in mind? Are you making something that will explode upon impact?

Im a little concerned why you seek this information Aspirin.As your country is slovenia, i dont think it prudent that anyone should instruct or direct you towards this information.

I dont mean to offend you,but bearing in mind the troubles in the recent past.Im unsure of your motives.

No no no.....

You got me all wrong....

 

 

I am a very big fan of the 1st and 2nd world wars (Weapons not anything else)

 

This is just something i'd like to learn.

Recently when i was walking where the italian front ran i found a detonator.

(Couldn't take it home though ) .

It was still in tact and had the safety pin in. Amopng other stuff i found donzens of artillery shell (still in tact)

 

Ofcourse if you feal uncomfortable giving out this information i tottaly understand you

often a primary explosive such as mercury fulminate or lead azide etc... pressed into a soft metal container (like the primer on a shotgun shell just bigger), the impact distorts the container and triggers the primary, this will then detonate a secondary and then the main charge.

 

granades and mines are a little different, there`s a delay charge after the primer`s struck.
