Abstract: A holding device and method for decreasing the contact-impact event on sub-projectiles when fired from a barrel, cylinder, carrier shell or the like includes a core and at least two legs that at least partially enclose at least one sub-projectile each. When a projectile is fired from a barrel or the like the sub-projectiles load the legs of the device which are deformed and open up and release the sub-projectiles in a controlled manner without tumbling which leads them to hit and penetrate their target with the short-side. A holding device including sub-projectiles and a projectile including the holding device are also provided.

Abstract: A warhead includes an outer casing and an inner shell, which delimits a central space for an explosive substance. The inner shell receives a series of preformed elements, which are arranged in contact with the outer side of the inner shell. The inner shell is arranged for a controlled fragmentation upon a detonation of the explosive substance. The preformed elements are arranged with a surface contact against the inner shell.
