Abstract

Eine effektivere Splitterwirkung einer Geschoßhülle (1) unter Zurhilfenahme vorgefertigter, scharfkantiger Splitter (3) liegt dadurch vor, daß diese Splitter (3) mit ihren scharfen Kanten (4) in die Innenwand (2) der Geschoßhülle (1) eingeformt sind.

Figure 00000001
A more effective splintering effect of a projectile casing (1) with the aid of prefabricated, sharp-edged splinters (3) is provided in that these splinters (3) are molded with their sharp edges (4) into the inner wall (2) of the projectile casing (1).
