ABSTRACT:
A projectile for use with a smooth bore barrel is disclosed wherein longitudinal stability is provided by an oscillating mass within the projectile. A mass is disposed inside the projectile and attached and secured to the projectile by means of a bi-convex spring or equivalent flexible structure so that the mass is set off in oscillation upon the sudden acceleration due to the firing of the projectile. The inertial forces developed by the oscillating mass provide stability throughout the projectile's trajectory.
