Abstract

1,214,040. Projectiles. BREVETS AEROMECANIQUES S.A. 28 Oct., 1968 [3 Nov., 1967], No. 50949/68. Heading F3A. A projectile comprises a sub-calibre shell 1, Fig. 1, e.g. of tungsten carbide or uranium U238, and a front cap 8 which is destroyed only when the projectile has just left the barrel of a gun. The cap is destroyed by an explosive charge 9 which is detonated as a striker 10 is brought against the charge by relative movement of the shell towards the cap. The shell is caused to move forwards under its own inertia as the projectile decelerates as well as under the action of a spring 11 following the expansion of a split locking ring 6 under the action of centrifugal force. The shell carries a tracer charge 12 and separates from an aluminium alloy shoe 3 in flight. In another embodiment the forward movement of the shell is assisted by a propellant charge 13, Fig. 2, which is ignited by a tracer charge 12 as the shell moves forwardly under its own inertia to expose the adjacent surface of the propellant charge.
