ABSTRACT:
An incendiary projectile having a plastic jacket made from glass reinforced Nylon, a mischmetal/aluminum core and a Teflon tip is actuated by kinetic energy on impact with the target. The mischmetal/aluminum core is octagonal in configuration and is composed of a pyrophoric alloy containing 87% mischmetal and 13% aluminum. The Teflon tip provides greatly increased effectiveness against targets of aluminum construction especially those containing aircraft fuel and the like.
