Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and a shell () for achieving variable firing range and effect when firing from a launcher, which shell () contains a firing charge (), a rocket motor charge () with gas outlet (), a rocket motor nozzle () and an active part (). According to the invention, this is achieved by virtue of the fact that the shell () also contains a release mechanism () for releasing the rocket motor nozzle () from the rocket motor charge () after a time delay determined with regard to firing range and effect, and that the rocket motor charge () comprises a propellant which is detonable.
