Abstract
It is proposed to combine the cascade effect of frangible pellets with sub-projectiles made of ductile heavy metal, that is, to produce a munition in which the advantages of for example frangible pellets of a central penetrator are combined with the advantages of the ductile heavy metal in an external penetratorwhereby an improved performance on various targets is achieved along with deeper impact speeds.
