Abstract
The invention relates to a spin-stabilized projectile including a body enclosing a payload formed by a group of sub-projectiles that can be dispersed over a trajectory under the action of a pyrotechnic charge. The projectile is characterized in that the pyrotechnic charge is formed by a detonation relay that is separated from the payload by a piston slidably mounted in the body, said piston comprising a recess covering the detonation relay.
