Abstract
The invention relates to improvements in armor-piercing projectiles formed in two component units, a first unit being a hollow envelope or shell, which is impact-resistant, and a second, being a ballast of a high specific weight, which is mounted in the hollow cavity of the envelope. The ballast improves the piercing performance of the projectile without detracting from impact resistance.
