ABSTRACT:
A cased telescoped ammunition with a perforated forward control tube in which the main propellant gas and flame front ignites a propellant surrounding the tube through the perforations. Seals form annular segments of consolidated propellant surrounding the tube separated from each other and the main propellant charge. These seals prevent gas and flame front propagation from the main or rearmost charge of propellant, except through the control tube perforations or ports which have been passed by the obturator.
