Abstract
A round of ammunition is formed by molding multiple layers of propellant about the sides and rear of a projectile providing an inner layer of conventional propellant enclosed within an outer layer composed of a mixture of a polynitroaromatic material, such as diaminotrinitrobenzene (DATB), as the primary oxidizer, and a phosphorus-containing hydroxy-terminated polyether binder.
