ABSTRACT:
A gun-fired spin-stabilized projectile of good aerodynamic shape (i.e. with a long forward tapering section) is centered in the gun barrel at its forward end by means of a series of circumferentially spaced apart permanently fixed radially extending projections, and at its rearward end, by means of either the maximum diameter of the projectile body or by means of a driving band mounted on a rear portion of the body. In the latter case, the maximum diameter of the projectile body is slightly less than the diameter lands of the gun and the driving band is constructed in such a manner as to be separated from the body after firing by centrifugal force and air drag.
