ABSTRACT:
A long rod penetrator has a severable guide fin assembly which is severably attached to the long rod and is sheared from the long rod when the fins reach the surface of the armor being penetrated by the long rod. The shear force required to sever the fins from the long rod is the minimum force necessary to ensure that the fins remain attached to the long rod during the firing of the long rod penetrator and its movement toward a target.
