Abstract: A cartridge-type munition comprising a casing and a projectile in which the casing at least in part is constituted of combustible and destructible material. According to the invention, a first connection between the projectile and the casing is formed by a neck engaging the periphery of the projectile which is also formed with a boss or projection at its rear end engaged by radial elements forming a second connection with the casing axially spaced from the first connection.

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: A subcaliber missile to be launched from a barrel, in order to serve as a carrier for satellite missiles of other ejectable bodies, has an envelope divided into two half-shells of tapering configuration which are articulated to the missile bottom and are held together by a missile head and by internal partitions separating the ejectable bodies from one another. When the missile is in flight, the ejection of the head by the detonation of a charge exerts a backward reaction force upon the envelope, causing its load to move forward therein whereby the partitions are disengaged from the two half-shells and allow them to flip apart. The half-shells are provided with slots for a recessed tail-wing assembly and with back fins which, like the missile bottom, conform to the caliber of the barrel.

Abstract: A load-carrying missile adapted for firing from barrel weapons and having a plurality of explosive charges disposed thereon with a plurality of projectile forming coverings distributed over the periphery of the missile and directed substantially perpendicular to the axis of the missile. The missile is provided with a parachute which is connected to the casing of the missile and which causes a directional braked descent of the missile in the target area.

Abstract: A plurality of warheads are disposed for ejection one behind the other, axially in a load-carrying missile with slave missiles disposed in firing tubes and parachutes connected to the warheads and causing their directional, braked descent in the target area. Proximity fuses cause the firing of the slave missiles. Each warhead consists of a firing tube which is open at both ends and in which two slave missiles are disposed with a common propellant charge between them. A parachute of each of the warheads is secured to the firing tube intermediate its length.

Abstract: A disc-shaped warhead adapted for being fired from a barrel weapon, and particularly for being stacked with a plurality of similar warheads in a load-carrying missile for ejection one after the other. The warhead has a plurality of slave missiles disposed in radially directed firing tubes, and a parachute connected to the warhead and causing a directional, braked descent in the target area. Each of the slave missiles has a proximity fuse to detonate it individually after reaching a predetermined distance from the ground or other target.

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.

Abstract: A versatile carrier projectile for receiving and ejecting differently-sized ejectable payloads such as guided missiles and incendiary bombs is described. The payloads are disposed in successive, longitudinally spaced relation within a central cylindrical body of the projectile, with successive ones of the payloads being separated by a spacer disc. Each spacer disc carries an outwardly biased blocking rod. The outer end of each blocking rod terminates in engagement with a sawtooth-shaped groove on the inner periphery of the cylindrical body, so that the forward propulsion of the successive payloads through the cylindrical body is accomplished under a steady spring load of the blocking member on the inner wall of the cylindrical body. The front and rear portions of the cylindrical body are respectively secured to the shell head and the ignition charge container by shear pins.
