A low cost protective cap that will offer protection of deployable fins for full bore artillery projectiles. A form fitting, composite cap that disintegrates on muzzle exit acts as a protective measure. The cap interfaces with the projectile obturator to form a temporary seal against hot gun gasses. The composition and thickness of the cap allows gas infiltration into the cap material and essentially instant cap degradation upon shot exit.
