ABSTRACT:
In a round of ammunition particularly intended for use against airborne targets, such as aircraft, explosive material and oxygen releasing carrier material are arranged within a casing, preferably in a number of layers, with at least a portion of the materials arranged for detonation under time delay, for increasing the flammability of the target. To increase the likelihood of damage of the target, the casing is arranged to splinter and splinter forming materials can be incorporated into one or more of the layers. In addition, to further promote the flammability to the target, material to support and enhance flammability is incorporated into the material within the casing.
