ABSTRACT:
A base fuze for a spinning projectile comprising a firing pin for piercing a detonator cap, a hammer sleeve secured to the firing pin, a self-destruction spring by means of which the hammer sleeve together with the firing pin can be displaced towards the detonator cap. An inertia body is provided for increasing the response sensitivity and is located behind the hammer sleeve. Upon impact of the projectile the inertia body bears directly at the hammer sleeve in order to increase the mass of the hammer sleeve when piercing the detonator cap by means of the firing pin due to the inertia of such inertia body.
