ABSTRACT:
A projectile has a primary penetration element arranged at the rear end, and surrounded by a substantially tube like secondary penetration element, so that in front of the primary penetration element is formed a cavity within the secondary penetration element. The cavity contains a bursting charge or bursting and incendiary charges, ignitable by means of an ignition charge arranged in the nose of the projectile upon impingement against a target. The construction is such that the primary penetration element is positively prevented from moving forwardly into the cavity before the projectile hits a target and the secondary element is substantially fragmented. The projectile gives considerable splinter and fragmentation in lighter to medium targets, while functioning generally as a purely armor piercing projectile against heavy targets.
