ABSTRACT:
A fin-stabilized projectile comprises a body section and a tail section disposed along a longitudinal axis. The tail section includes an outer end portion, a fin-carrying portion, and a boom portion having a tubular wall defining an ignition propellant gas chamber with a plurality of propellant gas ejection holes therein. An ignition cartridge load package includes a main propellant charge and an end cap firing section. The main propellant charge is disposed within the tubular boom portion and includes compacted particulate propellant material. The particulate propellant material forms a rigid, elongated wall structure defining open passageways for directing propellant igniting gases from the end cap firing section through the boom portion toward the body section. The open passageways direct propellant igniting gases from the end cap firing section along surfaces along the wall structure to ignite the propellant material forming the wall structure. The end cap firing section includes a propellant igniting load for producing propellant igniting gases adjacent the open passageways of the main propellant charge.
