Abstract:
The primer ignites the adjacent conically shaped shell of ignition transmitting explosive, which in turn annularly ignites the main explosive charge, which main explosive charge has two axially extending conical recesses pointed towards each other, the rear of which receives therein the forward conical surface of an inert element that has a rearwardly extending conical surface received within the ignition transmitting shell. A conically shaped shell bottom piece may be provided around the ignition transmitting explosive with a complementary type fit and a transverse loose fit with the interior rear conical surface of the jacket, or the interior conical surface of the jacket may receive the complementary exterior surface of the ignition transmitting shell directly.
