Abstract
A housing has a scored cylindrical casing that is designed to slidably fit into the barrel of a weapon and that is delimited by two side walls. After the casing breaks, due to the pressure of gases generated by a propellant charge, the housing is divided into at least two parts that are free to move relative to each other. Each housing part carries one casing element, ensuring gas tightness.
