Munition with a variable explosive power

摘要

A munition (10) with variable explosive power comprises a body (12) extending in an axial direction and housing at least first and second explosive charges (31, 32), together with a firing device (16). According to the invention, the munition further comprises a selector (50, 50′) provided with a detonating portion (52) and adapted to move between at least first and second positions, the selector being configured so that its detonating portion couples the firing device (16) to the first explosive charge in said first position and to the second explosive charge in said second position, one of the first and second explosive charges (31, 32) not being coupled to the firing device (16) in at least one of the first and second positions.
