Abstract
A spin-stabilized projectile includes a casing, a plurality of bomblets accommodated in the casing, filler pieces inserted between the casing and the bomblets, and a device for ejecting the bomblets by explosive force from the projectile at a predetermined point along a trajectory thereof. The filler pieces are of steel or tungsten and are distributed in the casing such that the projectile flies stably up to the point of ejection of the bomblets.
