Abstract
The invention relates to a so-called fuze damping in projectiles, in particular with a built-in firing delay. The invention proposes a projectile (1) having a rear part (1a) and a fuze (2) , wherein at least one damping element (7) is inserted between a fuze base (5) and the projectile (1) and/or between a fuze shoulder (6) and a possible threaded ring (4) or similar attachment element. The damping element (7) is in the form of a disc, ring or pot, and is composed of a material with a lower acoustic impedance than the material of the projectile (1).
