Abstract (en)
[origin: US4662280A] An improved explosive and incendiary full caliber projectile having a high splinter effect. The projectile produces a reliable incendiary effect at impact by releasing splinters from the casing. It is of simple construction and the casing and splinters have a high penetration capability in particular when the projectile is less than 40 mm in caliber. At least a preponderantly longitudinal portion of the casing is made of a homogeneous substance consisting of a heavy metal alloy having a density in excess of 17 g/cm3. By using a sintered high tungsten content casing a relatively larger volume of an explosive charge can be used which enhances the penetration capability and splinter swarm producing effect of the projectile at impact.
