Abstract: The invention relates to a projectile (1, 1?) comprising a retaining element (2, 2?) and a penetrator (3). The penetrator (3) is at least partly received in a retaining element (2, 2?) receiving opening (12, 12?) which runs centrally relative to the projectile axis (A) and has a penetrator front (4) and a penetrator rear (5). The penetrator rear (5) has a cylindrical shape, and the penetrator front (4) runs in a conical manner from the penetrator rear (5) in the direction of a penetrator tip (6) with respect to the projectile axis (A). The length ratio of the length (LPF) of the penetrator front (4) to the length (LPH) of the penetrator rear (5) is approximately 1 to 1, preferably approximately 1 to 1.5, particularly preferably approximately 1 to 2.2.

Abstract: A projectile (10), where necessary covered with a jacket, possesses a front-side core (1) and a rear-side core (2). The rear-side core (2) here bears positively in a centered manner against the front-side core (1) and this rear-side core (2) fills the entire cylindrical and the frustoconically configured rear region (2) of the projectile (10). A contact zone (11, 12 is respectively configured on the two cores (1, 2), which contact zone allows the projectile (10) to be joined together in a press fit, a perfectly aligned external form (3) of the projectile (10) being obtained and the contact faces (15; 13; 11 to 12) of the cores (1, 2) directly touching one another substantially without a clearance or gap over the whole of the contact face (15; 13; 11 to 12). When the projectile (10) impacts upon a surface oriented in any chosen manner relative to the firing direction (20), the projectile (10) is split into two less dangerous projectile parts.

Abstract: A rubber shot packing (10) comprises a predetermined or approximately predetermined number of hard rubber elements (11) that are arranged in a dense packing. In this case, the hard rubber elements (11) are altogether surrounded by a plastic film (13). Such a rubber shot packing (10) is intended for firing as an active charge with a powder charge that is separate from the active charge. In this case, at least one disc (20) is arranged, intended for the insertion side with respect to the powder charge, having an outside diameter corresponding to the dimensions of the firing cup and firmly connected to the rubber shot packing (10) axially centrally in relation to the hard rubber elements (11).
