Abstract

A fragmentation body (1) for a fragmentation shell surrounds the periphery and rear of an explosive charge-containing metal can (7), having a radial flange (43) at its open side as an abutment for the fragmentation body (1), and is enclosed, together with the flange (43) and its adjoining cylindrical collar (47), by a plastic jacket (17). The improvement is that (a) the fragmentation body (1) is divided into two longitudinal sections (25, 26) having a pre-notched fragmentation structure at the can periphery and spherical shot (32) at the rounded can rear; (b) the can (7) consists of a ductile material and has, at its open side, a cylindrical collar (47) for joining to a fuse (50); and (c) the explosive (9) extends beyond the flange (43) into the collar (47) and projects (11) into a recess (53) of the fuse (50).
