ABSTRACT:
A carrier shell for secondary projectiles having a shell casing, a plurality of secondary projectiles within the casing, an explosive dispersal charge for dispersing the projectiles and a safety device having a body closing a venting aperature in the casing. A first mechanical connection secures the body to the casing and yields on detonation of the charge before firing to vent any explosion before firing without dispersing the projectiles. A second mechanical connection is moved in response to firing to a condition preventing venting.
