Mr. Hubert S. Usel started working on caseless technology in 1963. Mr. Usel has offered his technology under licensing agreements to weapons manufacturers who were unsuccessful at developing weapon systems that could properly utilize this technology.
Dynamit Nobel Corp. (Germany), under contractual agreement with Heckler & Koch (Germany) expended tremendous energy and resources (Approx $150 Mil) on caseless ammunition and arms technology. Research and development of caseless ammunition and weapons was abandoned by Dynamite Nobel after countless failed attempts and the realization that their progress in this science would never catch the great advancements made by Mr. Usel. The USA later purchased Dynamite Nobel's research and development for this technology but were unable to successfully achieve reliable propellants. Attempts to duplicate and to reverse-engineer the proprietary UCC propellant technology have been extensive, numerous, unsuccessful and very expensive
The most recent advancements made in UCC technology have achieved:
· Complete combustion of primer, booster, and propellant without any residue.
· A more mechanically stable propellant formula with a longer shelf life.
· Dramatically increased propellant curing time (now 1/30 over previous UCC formulas).
· Development of a perfectly gas leak-proof chamber.
· Solving "Cook Off" problems associated with earlier designs.
Mr. Usel has perfected the ammunition formula and has developed bolt-action, semi-automatic, and fully automatic weapon systems. His goal was to prove that the technology worked and could be applied to weapon systems not unlike those that we are accustomed to using. Despite all the setbacks to bring this product on the market, the old "Spirit of Usel" has prevailed… "the spirit of determination to succeed."
Mr. Usel has designed a Leak-Proof Gas Chamber that overcomes the major obstacle that for many years prevented the advancement of this technology. By preventing gas leaks, the innovation eliminates erosion within the chamber subsequently eliminating the need for brass casings.
