Abstract
A projectile for being propelled along a trajectory by propellant gases inside a launcher tube, the projectile including a casing, first pressure means for first pressurizing the casing without exploding the casing during firing of the projectile, and second pressure means for second pressurizing and exploding the casing, wherein the first pressure means includes part of propellant gases inside a launcher tube used to propel the projectile, or alternatively, gases generated by the first pressure means.
Claims26
A projectile for being propelled by propellant gases inside a launcher tube and being launched therefrom into a trajectory, the projectile comprising:
- a casing;
- first pressure means for permitting first pressurizing the casing without exploding the casing during propelling of the projectile;
- and
- second pressure means for second pressurizing and exploding the casing, wherein
- said first pressure means comprises means for receiving propellant gases within a launcher tube.
A projectile for being propelled by propellant gases inside a launcher tube and being launched therefrom into a trajectory, the projectile comprising:
- a casing;
- first pressure means for permitting first pressurizing the casing without exploding the casing during propelling of the projectile;
- and
- second pressure means for second pressurizing and exploding the casing, wherein
- said first pressure means comprises a first gas-generating means integral with said projectile for generating gas, said first gas-generating means for ignition by propellant gases inside a launcher tube.
