ABSTRACT:
A telescoped ammunition cartridge, including a cylindrical cartridge casing having one end closed by a base, a full caliber projectile disposed within the casing, wherein the projectile has a cylindrical aft section and a tapered fore-section, at least one annular sleeve fitted in the casing at a fore-section thereof, wherein only the fore-section of the projectile is located within the annular sleeve. Further, the cartridge includes a detachable nose fairing fitted inside and contacting the annular sleeve to form a nose fairing sleeve assembly, wherein the nose fairing is integral with the projectile and is located at the tapered fore-section of the projectile, the assembly defining a support for the tapered fore-section of the projectile. The cartridge advantageously includes fixed supports defined by elongated ridges fitted between the nose fairing and the casing and extending to the aft section of the projectile to provide support therefor, wherein spaces are defined between the fixed supports. A propellant charge is disposed within the casing and is in contact with the cylindrical aft section of the projectile, and is disposed within the spaces of the fixed supports.
