ABSTRACT:
A telescoped ammunition cartridge, including a generally cylindrical cartridge casing closed at its rear section by a base, a full caliber projectile disposed within the cartridge casing, the projectile having an aft section and a tapered fore-section, at least one annular sleeve fitted inside the casing at a fore-section thereof, wherein only the tapered fore-section of the projectile is located within the annular sleeve, a detachable nose fairing fitted inside and contacting the at least one sleeve to define a nose fairing sleeve assembly. The nose fairing is integral with the projectile and is located substantially at the tapered fore-section of the projectile, and defines the sole support of the tapered fore-section of the projectile. The cartridge also includes a slidable rear support disposed at the aft section of the projectile, the support being defined by a shim having a plurality of radial extensions thereby defining spaces between the radial extensions, a propelling charge disposed within the casing which is in contact with an inner surface of a cylindrical portion of the cartridge casing and an inner surface of the base, wherein the propellant charge is axially disposed on both sides of the shim, the spaces providing powder communication through the shim.
