The drive cage projectile is arranged with a metallic drive floor which on the front side has a casing-shaped projectile accommodation provided with longitudinal axial slots as intended break points. Connected to the drive floor is a plastics centering cover with longitudinal axial wall thickness-weakening recesses. The centering cover (82) with an introduction aid (84) form a one-piece unit (80). Between the front inner surface area (68) of the casing-shaped accommodation (60) for the flying projectile on the front side of the drive floor and a smooth peripheral surface area (14) of the flying projectile is a friction union, while an inner surface area (98,100) of the centering cover and of the introduction aid centres and axially supports the flying projectile in its circular cylindrical part (12) and in the area of a point (18).
