Abstract
This invention deals with case-less ammunition, the propelling element of which has increased solidity. This increase in solidity is achieved by virtue of the fact that the propelling charge is firmly enveloped in a fabric. The fabric may consist of completely synthetic organic fibers or of mineral bibers. The ammunition in accordance with the invention manifests increased stability during loading and transportation in the weapon and better internal ballistics data than comparable ammunition known to date on the basis of the higher tamping attained.
