Abstract: A method and apparatus for covering a target area with ammunition, wherein a container, which contains active bodies W arranged on different decks 30.1, 30.2 and which is to be brought over the target area, releases the active bodies W through release openings 34 on its sides to become effective from above on respective individual flight paths against objects, for example armored vehicles, present in the target area.

Abstract: In the method and apparatus for covering a target area with ammunition, a container, which contains active bodies W arranged on different decks 30.1, 30.2 and which is to be brought over the target area, releases the active bodies W through release openings 34 on its sides to become effective from above on respective individual flight paths against objects, for example armored vehicles, present in the target area.

Abstract: Practice projectile for target practice, which corresponds in shape and weight to a normal combat projectile, particularly to a sub-caliber combat projectile. The projectile upon impact disintegrates at preset breaking points. The projectile is unitary, but has at least one preset breaking point along its length. The projectile may be constructed as a tail-stabilized arrow-shaped projectile with a propulsive sabot extending over the preset breaking line and the preset breaking line may be positioned in the zone of the minimum firing loading.

Abstract: There is disclosed a missile which automatically disintegrates after a predetermined flight time. The missile is made up of several parts which are positively secured together by a locking means which is released at a predetermined time after the firing of the missile by the action of the air through which the missile passes during its flight. The invention may by used to advantage in both practice missiles and service missiles.

Abstract: There is described a spin stabilized projectile assembly including a projectile, a sabot, and a guide ring. The projectile is provided with a shoulder at the rear end of which abuts the sabot, the projectile and sabot being connected by the guide ring which extends around the projectile and part of the sabot. The guide ring is arranged so that after the projectile assembly has been fired and has left the barrel of the weapon the sabot and the projectile separate. The sabot has a diameter substantially equal to that of the projectile; the guide ring is secured to the sabot against relative movement in a longitudinal direction but is rotatable with respect to the sabot.

Abstract: There is disclosed a limited range, high-speed projectile with a flat trajectory. The range is limited by controlling the air resistance of the projectile, so that the air resistance increases markedly when the projectile speed drops below a certain value.
