摘要

A container, comprising an outer casing (2) with a rear end cover (3), includes an inner cylindrical, one-piece casing (5) to receive a munition (9), which has a blocking member (8) for the tip (93) of its projectile (92), made in two spring-loaded halves and fitting against the forward end of the inner casing. A wedge (4) for the projectile tip is located inside the forward end of the outer casing and has a recess (12) at the back shaped to receive the outer surface of the blocking member. A second inner wedge (7) is located between the inner casing and the side of the munition, and a third one (6) is fitted between the rear ends of the two casings.
