A performance enhanced ammunition unit composed of a front ammunition component (1) and a rear ammunition component (2) which each include a combustible propelling charge casing (7, 12), with the rear ammunition component being filled with propelling charge powder that has been compressed into a compressed member (15). The rear ammunition component (2) has a casing bottom (13) which accommodates a bottom igniter (14) and the compressed member (15) accommodates a combustible ignition tube (16) for the propelling charge igniter (16, 17), with the combustible tube 16 being in operative engagement with the bottom igniter (14) and extending along substantially the entire axis of the bottom component. Both ammunition components (1, 2) are separated by a combustible disk (18), the front ammunition member (1) is filled in its cylindrical section (8) filled with powder rods (10) and in its section (a) ahead of the powder rods with bulk propelling charge powder (11).
