Zusammenfassung:An improved subcaliber fin-stabilized penetrator projectile having a plurality of high density pre-penetrator elements mounted in axial alignment in front of a main penetrator body. A casing having a frusto-conically shaped inner axial through-bore is threadably mounted on said main penetrator body and said pre-penetrator elements are matingly mounted in said through-bore and have mating frusto-conical shapes. A ballistic hood is threadably mounted on the forward end of the casing. The main penetrator and pre-penetrator elements are made of a high density metal alloy.
