A Brenneke-style shotgun slug. A shotgun slug is a heavy projectile (a slug) made of lead, copper, or other material and fired from a shotgun.Slugs are designed for hunting large game, and other uses, particularly in areas near human population where their short range and slow speed helps increase safety margin.
The company was founded by Wilhelm Brenneke in 1895 and is currently owned and run by his great-grandson, [3] Dr. Peter Mank. Brenneke makes shotgun shells for target shooting and hunting, special slugs for law enforcement, [4] and hunting rounds as well as projectiles for handloading.
Wilhelm Brenneke was a German inventor of smallarms ammunition, including the Brenneke shotgun slug. He was born in 1865 in Hanover and died in 1951, from natural causes. The Brenneke company remains in his family's hands and is still successful.
One of the most successful cartridge designs of the famous German gun and ammunition designer Wilhelm Brenneke was the 9.3×64mm Brenneke. He designed this cartridge ex novo (the 9.3×64mm Brenneke has no other cartridge as a parent case) and introduced it commercially in 1927. This big-game cartridge is the most powerful cartridge he designed.
Beside the 8×64mm S rifle cartridge Brenneke also designed a rimmed version for break action rifles of the cartridge. The rimmed 8×65mmR S variant of the cartridge was also rather commercially unsuccessful. The gun designer Otakar Galaš originally developed a sniper rifle based on a Mauser M98 action chambered in 8×64mm S around 1950.
At the start of the 20th century the famous German gun and ammunition designer Wilhelm Brenneke (1865–1951) was experimenting with the engineering concept of lengthening and other dimensional changes regarding standard cartridge cases like the M/88 cartridge case, then used by the German military in their Mauser Gewehr 98 rifles, to obtain ...
The hollowed rear of the Foster slug improves accuracy by placing more mass in the front of the projectile, therefore inhibiting the "tumble" that normal slugs may generate. The Brenneke slug takes this concept a bit further, with the addition of a wad that stays connected to the projectile after discharge, increasing accuracy.
For maximum versatility the M30 Luftwaffe Drilling featured two side-by-side 12 gauge shotgun barrels on top and a 9.3x74mmR rifle barrel below. The left-hand barrel was left unchoked for shooting slugs and the right barrel was choked for shooting birdshot. They were manufactured by the German firm J. P. Sauer und Sohn GmbH.
