ANÁLISE DO EFEITO TERMINAL DE PROJÉTEIS EM GELATINA BALÍSTICA VISANDO A UTILIZAÇÃO DE MUNIÇÃO CALIBRE .308 WIN PARA ATENDIMENTO DE OCORRÊNCIA COM REFÉNS À CURTA DISTÂNCIA

Abstract

The complex scenario of a hostage rescue event requires full mastery of operational tools that can bring unfavorable results to victims and third parties. Being that, in the moment of chaos, many times, fractions of seconds will define the success or failure of the missions. Therefore, having adequate and safer tools are essential to favor the decision-making process. In this sense, knowing the current precision ammunition used by snipers of the Special Tactical Action Group of the State of São Paulo, with a projectile of shape and weight not consistent with the operating distance of these incidents; reckless is the application given its ability to transfix, in a dynamic environment, where the sniper will have little time to analyze the scene and make a shot safely. Therefore, the study and search for ammunition with better effects in terminal ballistics, in face of the demands of the urban scenario is essential to save lives. As in the Brazilian market, represented by the company Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos - CBC, they do not have such a resource, it was necessary to search the international market for ammunition, these indicated for urban applications. With ballistic data provided, the performance was analyzed, seeking the development of a product or the direction of purchase by the Military Police of the State of São Paulo. Today, it is believed that the prototype of ammunition with a 125gr projectile, used in ballistic gelatin tests, will fill this gap of direct firing, at a very short distance, in hostage rescue events.
