Sub-calibre artillery projectile has shoe with sub-calibre forward section and full-calibre guide attached to it

摘要

The projectile (1), comprising a bar (4) surrounded by a shoe (2) in at least two segments, has the shoe made with a sub-calibre forward section (2a) with a full-calibre guide component (8) attached to it. The guide component is made in one piece from a plastic material with three radial arms and has an inner profile (9) that fits the forward end surface (10) of the shoe so that the guide component expands diametrically on recoil.
