Incendiary tracer projectile

Claim 2

In a projectile having an igniter-tracer system therein, the improvement therewith comprising a flame-producing composition communicating with said igniter-tracer system for providing propulsion of an incendiary projectile up to a distance of about 600 yards and yet burning with a high temperature over an extended duration to ignite hard-to-ignite combustible materials such as wood and canvas, said flame-producing composition consisting of, by weight: ______________________________________ Nitrocellulose (12.6%N) 57.0% Nitroguanidine 22.8 Diphenylamine 3.1 Dibutyl phthalate 17.1. ______________________________________

Claim 3

In a projectile having an igniter-tracer system therein, the improvement therewith comprising a flame-producing composition communicating with said igniter-tracer system for providing propulsion of an incendiary projectile up to a distance of about 600 yards and yet burning with a high temperature over an extended duration to ignite hard-to-ignite combustible materials such as wood and canvas, said flame-producing composition consisting of, by weight: ______________________________________ Ammonium perchlorate 75.0% Polyester styrene (liquid) 23.5 Toluene di-isocyanate 1.5. ______________________________________

Claim 4

In a projectile having an igniter-tracer system therein, the improvement therewith comprising a flame-producing composition communicating with said igniter-tracer system for providing propulsion of an incendiary projectile up to a distance of about 600 yards and yet burning with a high temperature over an extended duration to ignite hard-to-ignite combustible materials such as wood and canvas, said flame-producing composition consisting of, by weight: ______________________________________ Ammonium perchlorate 75.0% Polyester styrene (liquid) 23.5 Toluene di-isocyanate 1.5. ______________________________________

Claim 5

The incendiary projectile described in claim 1 wherein said projectile includes a polyethylene container and said flame-producing composition is fixedly adhered to said container by means of a plurality of spaced transverse grooves disposed around periphery of said container and a corresponding number of spaced grooves in said flame-producing composition aligned with said container grooves, and a sealant material disposed within all of said grooves for additionally securing said flame-producing composition to said container.

Claim 6

The incendiary projectile described in claim 2 wherein said projectile includes a polyethylene container and said flame-producing composition is fixedly adhered to said container by means of a plurality of spaced transverse grooves disposed around periphery of said container and a corresponding number of spaced grooves in said flame-producing composition aligned with said container grooves, and a sealant material disposed within all of said grooves for additionally securing said flame-producing composition to said container.

Claim 7

The incendiary projectile described in claim 3 wherein said sealant is an epoxy resin.

Claim 8

The incendiary projectile described in claim 4 wherein said sealant is an epoxy resin.

Claim 9

The incendiary projectile of claim 5 wherein a special effects component within said container is axially forwardly said flame-producing composition and of lesser diameter than said flame-producing composition while in communicating relation thereto, said special effects component comprising an ignitable material selected from the group consisting of flash-producing compositions and flame-producing compositions.

Claim 10

The incendiary projectile of claim 6 wherein a special effects component within said container is axially forwardly said flame-producing composition and of lesser diameter than said flame-producing composition while in communicating relation thereto, said special effects component comprising an ignitable material selected from the group consisting of flash-producing compositions and flame-producing compositions.
