A projectile which is intended for firing from an electromagnetic projectile acceleration device equipped with parallel acceleration rails and forming a plasma arc cushion. To realize high speeds as well as uniform stress on the projectile during the acceleration phase, the projectile, when seen in the direction of flight, is composed of at least two spaced partial projectile sections which are arranged one behind the other and are separated from one another by intermediate projectile portions, and plasma forming substances are disposed at the rear ends of the respective partial projectile sections.
