Abstract

In ammunition, preferably for machine cannons, including a subcaliber stabilized projectile equipped with a body of tracer material and a stabilizing element, the heat released during combustion of the tracer material is utilized to drastically change the strength of the material of an element used to fasten the stabilizing element to the projectile. By being able to set the time of combustion and of the change in the material, the stabilizing element changes its position with respect to the projectile. The system or ammunition in question becomes unstable and drops to the ground.
