Abstract
An improved armor-piercing penetrator projectile includes a core made of a material having a high tungsten content which is in metallic form. The front portion of the core is in the shape of a hemisphere and includes a nose point in the form of a ballistic hood. The core extends or occupies the entire cross-section of the projectile and has a high length/diameter-relationship. The hemispherical front portion of the core is adapted to directly contact a target upon impact of the projectile.
