Infantry projectile

An infantry projectile for use against ground targets comprising an elongated projectile body having a longitudinal axis and said body being symmetrical about its longitudinal axis, said projectile body having a leading end and a trailing end each extending transversely of the longitudinal axis, the surface of said projectile body between the leading and trailing ends thereof in a plane extending perpendicularly of the longitudinal axis is concentric to the longitudinal axis, trimming means provided on the leading end of said projectile body, wherein the improvement comprises that said projectile body has a single flow-control projection extending outwardly from its concentric surface at a location intermediate the leading and trailing ends of the projectile body, said projection is arranged so that in a vertical plane of symmetry through the longitudinal axis of said projectile body with the vertical plane of symmetry determined by said trimming means said projection is located on the lower side of said projectile and the aerodynamic center of the projectile is located below the center of gravity of said projectile.
