ABSTRACT:
Practice projectile for target practice, which corresponds in shape and weight to a normal combat projectile, particularly to a sub-caliber combat projectile. The projectile upon impact disintegrates at preset breaking points. The projectile is unitary, but has at least one preset breaking point along its length. The projectile may be constructed as a tail-stabilized arrow-shaped projectile with a propulsive sabot extending over the preset breaking line and the preset breaking line may be positioned in the zone of the minimum firing loading.
