Abstract:
1. A method for packing fin-stabilized penetrators in a carrier shell, which penetrators comprise a cylindrical front penetrator part and a rear fin part comprising fin sides, which method comprises packing the penetrators in packing groups, joining together said packing groups to form packing units, arranging each packing group with a centrally located penetrator flanked by at least three outer penetrators, which outer penetrators are arranged so that their front penetrator parts lie side to side against the fin sides of the centrally located penetrator, wherein the rear fin parts of the penetrators are made shorter than the front penetrator parts of the penetrators, and the cylindrical front penetrator part has a flat front and rear end such that the rear end of a first cylindrical penetrator part rests on the front end of a second cylindrical penetrator part for the distribution of load stresses rearwards, relative to the direction of firing of the carrier shell, from the centrally located penetrator via the front penetrator parts of the flanking penetrators, whereby the rear fin parts of the penetrators, upon the release of the penetrators from the carrier shell, are relieved of load apart from the bottommost layer of penetrators closest to the rear part of the carrier shell, wherein the load is relieved via the cylindrical front penetrator parts.
