A projectile with a penetrating member, in which a pyrotechnic composition is arranged ahead of and rearwardly of the penetrating member. The forward composition, preferably incendiary, is encompassed by a ballistic hood, the rearward composition being at least partially of explosive material is detonatable by an impact detonator. The head portion of the penetrating member is formed of two regions having different slopes to increase the activity of the projectile at flat striking angles against a target. The two regions are separated by a sharp-edged gripping edge. The penetrating member may also include in the interior thereof a plug of a pyrophorically acting metal or alloy.
