Abstract

The invention relates to a projectile with a projectile tip (9) at the front as viewed in the direction of the shot, which transforms via an ogive (1) into a rear cylindrical area (7). To reduce the air resistance and optimize precision, it is proposed according to the invention that the surface of the ogive (1) be structured.
