Sub-calibre artillery projectile - has penetrator with guide structure around part of its length, and conical formation in part of rear side

摘要

The rear part area (22) of the penetrator (2) is fitted in a conical or cylindrical recess (50) in the guide structure (5), and a pin (20) connects to it via which the guide structure is joined to the penetrator. Between the pin and the conical part area of the penetrator is a theoretical breakpoint (21), and between the conical area and the guide structure is an air gap (52). In order to join the guide structure at its end (51) facing the penetrator, a round or conical section (23) is provided. The air gap (53) is filled with plastic pulp. USE/ADVANTAGE - As a further development of a sub-calibre projectile, providing an increased end-ballistic force and good target contact accuracy.
