To provide a complete seal in the region of the rifling, particularly in worn-out gun barrels firing spin stabilized carrier projectiles provided with a metal guide or driving band and a thin-walled projectile connected to a projectile base and having a wall thickness less than or equal to 0.05 times the caliber of the gun barrel and to reduce the ramming deceleration and the radial pressure stresses on the projectile shell during passage through the gun barrel, a plastic ram ring is disposed on the outer surface of the projectile shell in front of the metal guide band and in a region of the shell that is not supported radially by the projectile base.

Projectile base for carrier projectiles

A guide assembly for a missile or projectile which has a plurality of space saving, foldable fins, with each such fin being composed of two fin blades that are connected together at their tips and whose root ends are fastened in different bearings. To prevent bending or bulging of the fin blades in the unfolded state of the fins, at least one bending prevention arrangement is disposed between the fin blades in the vicinity of their root ends.
