Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0457657A1] The purpose of the invention is to provide a new type of penetrating projectiles for the purpose of improving their penetrating power and of controlling the latter better, in particular by providing a solution to the problems related to obliqueness. <??>A projectile according to the invention comprises a front element (1) forming the active part, integral with a tube (2). The tube (2) is closed at the rear of the element (1) and contains a charge (30) for propelling the latter, and an igniter (31) for the said charge, reacting to the percussion of the element (1) against a target. <??>On reaching the target, the projectile penetrates slightly under the effect of speed, and it is only at this time, or slightly later, that the actual penetration occurs, hence without obliqueness. <??>Use as individual munition or as submunition. <IMAGE>
