Remastered you will notice in the patent that the first projectile is seated well back in the cartridge, I believe this was to allow the front projectile enough space to get momentum before engaging the rifling, so as not to impede the forward momentum of the projectile until it had reached a certain velocity, this would help with over barrel pressure at the very first firing.
The M855A1 isn't sitting as far back as that shown in the patent? but it is still back further than most rounds I have seen, also worth noting is the design tail section of the projectile being more streamlined , I believe this is to allow the gasses in the cartridge to work on the back of the projectile to enable it to get forward momentum in the very first instance, this streamlined tail would allow more gasses in the rear area than if it had been like a normal projectiles profile.
If my thinking is right??? not saying 100% for sure it is? but why didn't they allow us to see the firing result in ballistic putty, what was the secret that we would have seen??
If they are making 300 million and lets just say the royalties were 20c per round for the IP? then that would equate to $60 million US, even if the IP was only worth 10c per round which I doubt? then that is US$30 million, we will know the answer one day the truth always has a way of surfacing and if it is indeed metalstorm mach 5/50 tech or what they call hyperburst and they try to not pay us, then we may be in for a bun fight, because if we had that money today we would not need any further dilution!
