| ~ Colt 45 Salvo Squeeze Bore ~ In 1903 Karl Puff (German) proposed the idea of a Taper bore weapon, an ingenious innovation in which the barrel of the weapon squeezed the projectile, converting the short fat projectiles into longer, narrower projectiles with a better aerodynamic shape before they left the muzzle. In the early 1970's Colt experimented with the idea of squeezing a sabot with 3 projectiles to creat a Triplex Salvo. They used the sabot in the Colt model 1971 Auto Pistol with a special tapered bore. The 3 projectiles would leave the barrel of the pistol at different velocities and make 3 different holes in the target, which was the idea behind the Salvo program - more holes more damage. The Experimenting was dropped after a few years as the U.S. Armed Forces lost interest in the Project. |
