Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein vollkalibriges Geschoß mit einem zylinderförmigen Führungsbereich (5) und einer ogivenförmig ausgebildeten Geschoßspitze (7).The invention relates to a full-caliber projectile with a cylindrical guide area (5) and an ogive-shaped projectile tip (7).

Um auf einfache Weise eine bessere Stabilisierung des Geschosses (1) innerhalb eines Waffenrohres (2) und damit eine bessere Abgangsballistik und Treffergenauigkeit als bei vergleichbaren Geschossen zu erreichen, wird vorgeschlagen, auf der Geschoßspitze (7) einen in Umfangsrichtung segmentierten Führungsring (8), dessen Außendurchmesser kleiner als der Innendurchmesser eines kalibergleichen Waffenrohres (2) ist, derart zu befestigen, daß sich die Führungsring-Segmente (9) beim Auftreten einer vorgegebenen Abschlußbeschleunigung in dem entsprechenden Waffenrohr (2) vom Geschoß (1) lösen und durch den Staudruck so lange axial zum zylinderförmigen Führungsbereich (5) hin auf das Geschoß (1) aufgeschoben werden, bis die sich radial voneinander entfernenden Führungsring-Segmente (9) an der Innenwand (18) des Waffenrohres (2) und an dem Geschoß (1) abstützen.

Figure 00000001
In order to achieve better stabilization of the projectile (1) within a weapon barrel (2) in a simple manner and thus better ballistics and accuracy than comparable comparable projectiles, it is proposed to place a guide ring (8) segmented in the circumferential direction on the projectile tip (7), the outside diameter of which is smaller than the inside diameter of a gun barrel (2) of the same caliber, to be fastened in such a way that the guide ring segments (9) detach from the projectile (1) when a predetermined final acceleration occurs in the corresponding barrel (2) and by the dynamic pressure so long on the projectile (1) axially to the cylindrical guide area (5) until the radially spaced guide ring segments (9) are supported on the inner wall (18) of the weapon barrel (2) and on the projectile (1).
