Abstract
A spinning projectile with a projectile body and a hollow charge component rotatably mounted in the projectile body and axially displaceable by the propellant gases, further including means in order to hold the hollow charge component in its displaced position. According to the invention the aforementioned means are constructed as locking elements which maintain the hollow charge component in the displaced position at the projectile body even after there has been an abatement of the pressure of the propellant charge.
