The invention provides an electrical igniter for an adaptive cartridge of a subcaliber barrel system by which the firing pin extension (12) is arranged axially movable by means of a guide (13) made of an electrically non-conductive material. A slide valve (22) grips a safety rod (17) in the guide (13). The safety rod (17) is situated adjacent the breech mechanism (6) only such that the firing pin (12) borders on the percussion cap (29) of the cartridge (11). By an open breech mechanism (6) the safety rod (17), under spring tension, is moved in the direction of the cartridge (11) together with the firing pin (12).

Adaptive cartridge for a subcaliber barrel system

A front insert barrel bearing is adjustable by means of an adjusting device having two eccentric bushing arranged one within the other, of a front insert barrel bearing, the bushings are rotatable relative to each other, to change the position in which they support the insert gun barrel whereby a desired aiming direction of the insert barrel is made possible and a common mean point of impact with the barrel of the combat tank is achieved.
