ABSTRACT:
An armor-piercing tandem projectile adapted for multi-layered armored targets. Two armor-penetrating devices are incorporated in the body of the tandem shell projectile which differentiate each other with respect to their moments of impact; the rear armor-penetrating device incorporates a shaped hollow explosive charge including a cavity lining forming an armor-penetrating spike (projectile with high initial velocity) upon detonation. The forward armor-penetrating device has a pointed end with an axial conduit which is in communication with the hollow explosive charge and serves as a passageway for said spike.
