y' In vfiring infantry guns. especiallythose y ofthe mortar type, yitis customary to" varyl v the range'either by Vvarying the angle .of

However, as the first method of varying .the range is frequently handicapped' and limited by the nature of the gun emplacef ment and the secondvmethod necessitates adv ditional gun structuraly have devised av x novel cartridge which will permit zone firing at ,1ow=velocties` for high explosive shells fin the rsame gun,A which will fire armor l piercingV projectiles at a high velocity. y f
' My invention consists in providing a cartridge expellable with they projectile, which maybe readily removed from'its container tojelfect the required adjustment vforv securing varying ranges without disturbthe setting of the gun.
