ABSTRACT:
An insert for a projectile-forming charge with a non-constant or varying material thickness extending in the centripetal direction thereof. The insert incorporates peripherally mutually offset centripetally extending zones with a material thickness which is constant in the centripetal direction, and which alternates in transition with centripetally extending zones having a non-constant varying material thickness. In the interest of an improved combat effectiveness for large-caliber ammunition, notwithstanding greater target distances, through periodically varying the material thickness of the insert in the peripheral direction, during the folding in of the insert projectile there can be achieved a more stable flight trajectory due to the formation of defined stub wings at the tail end of the projectile.
