Abstract
The present invention relates to a segmented subcaliber projectile () subdivisible into a number of separate segments contiguous with each other at least initially to form an integral projectile of united segments or submunitions (). The advantage with this subcaliber projectile is that since the segments or submunitions () are arranged sequentially after each other, each one comprises an explosive charge () initiatable by a very powerful shock and encased in an outer casing () of hard material such that the projectile in integral form can be used directly against heavy armor, and by means of dispersion of the various segments can also be used against aircraft.
