Instrumental (15’) Velocity Parameters – Target Velocity/Acceptable Velocity Data

Target velocity:

[ ] fps Lowest acceptable velocity:

[ ] fps Highest acceptable velocity:

[ ] fps Highest acceptable velocity Extreme Spread: [ ]

Phase II Test Data

#1 Velocity in FBI Carbine (fired from 11.5” barrel, measured 15’ from muzzle)

No [ ]

#2 Bench Rest Accuracy (fired from FBI carbine [11.5”, 1:7” twist] or surrogate @ 100 meters) [footnoteRef:1] [1: The Government will execute this test at 100 meters. If a manufacturer only has access to a 100 yard range, the FBI will accept this data in yards or minutes of angle (MOA).]

#3 Sustained Immersion in Water (fired from FBI carbine [11.5”, 1:7 twist] or surrogate)

Low velocity: [ ] fps Average velocity: [ ] fps

No: [ ]

#4 SAAMI/NATO Pressure (fired from SAAMI or NATO pressure test barrel)

Offer shall submit pressure test reports for 20 test shots. Pressures should be measured in accordance with recommended SAAMI or NATO performance standards.

Yes [ ] or No [ ]

Average of Second 10-shots = [ ] psi

20-round Average = [ ] psi

#5 Environmental Pressure (+140° F, 20-28 hour conditioning)

Offeror shall submit pressure test results for 10 test shots. Pressures should be measured in a manner consistent with Phase II, Test 4.

Yes[ ] or No[ ]

#5 (continued) Environmental Pressure (-40° F, 20-28 hour conditioning)

Offer shall submit pressure test results for 10 test shots. Pressures should be measured in a manner consistent with Phase II, Test 4.

#6 Penetration (Offeror’s Gelatin Test Data) (fired from 11.5”, 1:7” twist Test Barrel or surrogate)

INDIVIDUAL TESTS

#6 (continued) Penetration score calculations

Overall Average Penetration [ ] in. = [ ] points

Standard Deviation [ ] = [ ] points

Overall Average Penetration points x Standard Deviation points = [ ] points

Average % Retained Weight [ ] % = [ ] points

Average Expansion [ ] in. = [ ] points

Shots < 12” [ ] = [ ] points

Total = [ ] points

Total points x Priority Factor of 50 = [ ] points

#7 Test Barrel Accuracy (100 yds/m) (fired from 11.5”, 1:7” twist Test Barrel)

Accuracy Average [ ] inches = [ ] points.

#8 Instrumental Velocity

Average Extreme Spread [ ] fps = [ ] points.

#9 Muzzle Flash Service Only

Section C.4.7 of the Statement of Work requires that the propellant in the service submission create a minimal amount of muzzle flash.

Phase II, Tests 10 through 13 were intentionally left off of this data sheet. These evaluations do not require Offeror-provided test data for this solicitation.
