ABSTRACT:
An incendiary projectile carries an incendiary charge and a control charge arrangement for igniting and disintegrating the incendiary charge. The control charge arrangement is ignited by the propellant charge which launches the projectile and then immediately ignites the incendiary charge and finally causes disintegration of the projectile. In one embodiment the control charge comprises a first charge, including a glow and delay composition, and a disintegrating charge which is ignited by the first charge. In another embodiment the control charge comprises a glow and delay composition which ignites and then heats the incendiary charge to produce disintegration of the projectile. A novel tubular housing for the control charge is provided to prevent premature disintegration and minimize atomation of the incendiary charge.
