Fixed ammunition

Large-calibre artillery ammunition permits a more complex payload including high explosives, bursters, shrapnel, bursting charges, fuzes, incendiaries, etc. 

In addition to catalysts, stabilizers, opacifiers (to reduce heat radiation ahead of the flame), flash depressants, plasticizers, and binders, the main fuel and oxidizers for rocket propellants include 

While the term missile can apply to any projectile ammunition, guided missiles describes those rockets whose course or trajectory is controlled electronically by computers and communications equipment. 

Torpedoes are tubular rockets or missiles designed to operate underwater. They are the principal weapons of submarines but may be dropped from aircraft or surface vessels. Torpedoes may be expelled by compressed air or propelled by a propelling charge, steam, or electricity. 

Warheads contain the agent intended to inflict damage in any projectile ammunition, be it inert, explosive, nuclear, biological, or chemical, although the term is most often applied to self-propelled missiles, rockets, and torpedoes. Warheads include casings, destructive agents, and a power supply. They may be loaded into the ammunition just before use. With the addition of fuzes, safety, and arming mechanisms, warheads become armament systems.
