Carrier primary projectile with secondary projectiles - has openings for propulsion gases used for ejection of secondary projectiles

摘要

The carrier projectile is used for firing of secondary projectiles. The carrier projectile is designed as a launching barrel for secondary projectiles. The projectile has ogival nose and secondary projectiles such as balls are held in front chamber of projectile situated partly in the hollow nose. The rear chamber container propellant gases for ejection of balls. This projectile is used for close range protection against unarmoured targets ensuring high hit probability. The projectile body and nose are connected by fastener which is separated on firing by the inertia of the nose. The rear of carrier projectile has channels for admitting propulsion gases into a pressure chamber. These gases eject the secondary projectiles and nose by means of propulsion plate forward out of the carrier projectile when the carrier projectile slows down.
