Experimentální porovnání penetrace střel 9 mm Luger LIBRA SNAIL

Abstract

This bachelor thesis focuses on the analysis of ballistic properties of 9 mm Luger missiles when they penetrate metallic materials, namely stainless steel plates of different thicknesses. The aim was to investigate how material thickness and projectile type affect penetration capability, projectile deformation and the effect of kinetic energy on test results. Experiments were conducted with Sellier & Bellot 9 mm Luger bullets and then compared to Libra Snail bullets. The results show that the thickness of the plate and the specific properties of the projectiles (weight, shape, velocity) have a significant effect on the ability to penetrate the material. The Libra Snail bullets show a higher efficiency in penetrating thicker sheet metal than the Sellier & Bellot bullets.
