Armour perforating projectile and ammunition containing such a projectile.

摘要

The projectile consists of a bar (2) with an explosive charge (5) inside a casing (4), a revetment (6) and a primer (7), with at least a part of the bar situated inside the explosive charge. The bar lies coaxially with the casing and can extend inside it as far as the revetment, while its projecting portion is equipped with a stabiliser (8). The primer is annular in shape and can be in the form of a plate set at an angle relative to the axis of the charge and projected into the charge by a detonator. In variants of the design the projectile can incorporate an impact contactor, a proximity detector or a tube containing a propulsive charge.
