Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9222782A1] Ammunition for firing from the barrel of a gun, for example a tank gun, comprises a canister (2) containing layers of pellets (13). The body (8) of the canister (2) remains intact while passing through the barrel and breaks up shortly after leaving the barrel such that the pellets are discharged over a conical zone. Break up of the body (8) is achieved by buildup of internal gas pressure during firing, the body (8) having predetermined zones of weakness to ensure a predetermined pattern of breakup.
