ABSTRACT:
An improved armor-piercing inertial penetrator projectile having a prepenetrator which has a substantially uniform flight diameter D, over substantially its entire length. A prepenetrator assembly is formed by a plurality of elements which are adapted to interact with the material of the corresponding target upon impact so as to form an effective surface which has a diameter larger by a predetermined amount than the flight diameter D of the prepenetrator.
