ABSTRACT:
An undersized kinetic-energy practice projectile of the dart type includes a penetrator and a tail unit that can be dissociated from one another while the projectile is in flight. The penetrator and the tail unit can be separated after a predetermined flight duration, by relative rotation of the tail unit with respect to the penetrator in response to the aerodynamic forces being exerted on the tail unit. This can be achieved by an element that is integral with the penetrator and is screwed onto a threaded part of the tail unit.
