WHAT DOES OBTURATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Obturation

In the field of firearms and airguns, obturation denotes necessary barrel blockage or fitment by a deformed soft projectile. A bullet or pellet, made of soft material and often with a concave base, will flare under the heat and pressure of firing, filling the bore and engaging the barrel's rifling. The mechanism by which an undersized soft-metal projectile enlarges to fill the barrel is, for hollow-base bullets, expansion from gas pressure within the base cavity and, for solid-base bullets, "upsetting"—the combined shortening and thickening that occurs when a malleable metal object is struck forcibly at one end. For shotgun shells which have multiple pellets, much smaller than the barrel bore, obturation is achieved by placing a plastic wad or biodegradable card of the same diameter as the barrel between the propellant powder and the pellets.

Definition of obturation in the English dictionary

The definition of obturation in the dictionary is the process of a bullet or cartridge expanding to fill and seal the chamber of a gun, eg to prevent gases escaping. Other definition of obturation is the process of filling an opening, especially a root canal in dentistry.
