Abstract
Projectiles or war-heads with an inner arrangement for the formation of bulging zones ( ) are proposed, comprised of an enclosed bulging medium ( ) which is terminal-effective ballistically substantially ineffective and is radially enclosed by a penetration material ( ) which is terminal-ballistically effective, with the bulging medium ( ) having a lower density as compared with the enclosing penetration material ( ). This leads to the effect that on impact or on penetrating a target plate ( ) the bulging medium ( ) remains behind relative to the encompassing terminal-ballistic effective body ( ) and is laterally increasingly bulged by the bulging material ( ) which continues to flow in from behind. As a result of the high pressures, a conical (crowned) pressure and bulging zone ( ) is formed dynamically, which zone radially widens or fragments the passing ambient effective material ( ).
