Cleaner Technology Projects in Denmark 1997
Noise from Shooting Ranges, Emission Catalogue for Shot Cartridge
(Appendix Report)
Støj fra skydebaner, emissonskatalog for haglpatroner (Bilagsrapport)
Arbejdsrapport nr. 78, 1997, Miljøstyrelsen
This is the appendix report to the work report (Arbejdsrapport) no. 77, 1997, which
purpose was to work out an emission catalogue for shot cartridges in relation to cleaner
technology in order to reduce the noise pollution around the shooting ranges.
The Danish Trap Shooting Union (Dansk Flugtskydningsforbund) has
participated in the project, and the union has contributed to carrying out the tests by
offering suitable shooting facilities and by procuring weapons and the necessary amount of
cartridges.
DELTA Akustik & Vibration has proposed this project in connection with the
publication of guides no. 1 and no. 2 from 1996 about noise from shooting ranges, made by the National Agency of Environmental
Protection in Denmark (Miljøstyrelsen). The reason was that the Army had made the test
results, which were available, in August 1989, and it was therefore important to find out
if these results were still current, and if there is a big difference in the noise level
depending on the types of cartridge and the cartridge manufacturers.
A large spread on the noise level of the cartridges would probably result in the noise
level becoming an important argument when selling cartridges for trap shooting.
In co-operation with the Danish Trap Shooting Union, DELTA Akustik & Vibration has
made a programme of measurement based on types of munitions and covering about 98% of the
Danish market for trap shooting cartridges. This includes both steel shot cartridges and
lead shot cartridges though lead shot cartridges are only allowed to
be used in a limited amount of shooting ranges. The programme of measurement also contains
different combinations of types of munitions, compositions of
weapons, angles of elevation and heights of elevation.
A large number of measurements have been carried through, which makes the amount of
documents enclosed very heavy and only interesting for some readers. The report has
therefore been divided in a principal report and in an appendix report, in which all the
background material will be found. All the presentations of problems, test results and
comments are summarised in the principal report.
The appendices of the report have been organised in the following way:
 | Appendix no. 1-110 contains transcripts of test results, odd appendix numbers, and raw
data, even appendix numbers for all 55 tests. |
 | Appendices no. 111-115 are data sheets concerning time signals for a typical weapon/cartridge combination. |
