Abstract:
1. A projectile head for a training cartridge having a propulsion unit, with an integrated projectile tail section, which can be used equally for training cartridges as well as combat cartridges of the same caliber size, wherein the projectile tail section is connectable to the projectile head with the aid of an extension on the projectile tail section, the extension is insertable into a receptacle in the projectile head, and the extension contains a recessed area, open on the front, for receiving a warhead detonator, the projectile head comprising: a receptacle in the projectile head for receiving the extension of the projectile tail section; and an end stop which extends into the receptacle, wherein the end stop is for contacting a warhead detonator present on the projectile tail section during assembly of the propulsion unit and the projectile head to prevent the extension from reaching a fully assembled position in the receptacle, the projectile head is attachable by a threaded connection to the propulsion unit, and the end stop is arranged in the projectile head such that, if the warhead detonator is present, the end stop is for contacting the warhead detonator before threads on the propulsion unit come in contact with threads on the projectile head, therefore preventing the projectile head from being connected to the propulsion unit.
