Abstract
A telescoped ammunition round has a projectile positioned in the axial cavity of a propellant charge. A generally tubular casing surrounding the propellant charge has two longitudinal splits dividing the casing into two substantially identical halves which can separate during firing and sustain the pressure created by the propellant charge without deforming. An end cap assembly couples adjacent ends of the halves of the tubular casing to each other.
