The projectile body of a hollow charge subsidiary projectile is configured of a helical wire which forms a closed wall in that mutually adjacent wire turns are connected together in common contracting regions. A given number of wire turns at the front of the projectile body beginning in the vicinity of the base of the hollow charge insert remain unconnected so that a spring-like detonator spacer results which is delimited at the front by the last wire turn.
