ABSTRACTAn exercise projectile of the discarding sabot type and having aprojectile body consisting of at least two parts which, after traversing apredetermined trajectory, are separated from one another and are providedwith first and second connecting means for keeping these parts interconnectedprior to firing and during the predetermined trajectory, respectively, andwith disconnecting means for rendering the connecting means inoperative atleast at or near the end of the predetermined trajectory. The first con-necting means comprise means cooperating with the sabot, like collars engagingin grooves of the sabot. The second connecting means are of the type acti-vated by the firing of the projectile, e.g. of pneumatic type, like gaspressure interlocking means which, during the predetermined trajectory, arekept under a gas pressure derived from the firing gas pressure and are reducedduring the predetermined trajectory by suitable means, like leakage ducts.
