ABSTRACT:
An infantry projectile includes an elongated projectile body having a cylindrical or frusto-conical surface concentrically arranged about its longitudinal axis. The projectile body has a leading end and a trailing end each extending transversely of the longitudinal axis. The leading end is disposed at an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis for affording a trimming action on the projectile when it is in flight. A flow control projection is provided on the surface of the projectile body between its ends so that the aerodynamic center of the projectile is located below its center of gravity when the flow control projection is located on the lower surface of the projectile body and in a vertical plane extending through the longitudinal axis of the body.
