Projectiles with bursting charge

Sporting ammunition describes rifle and handgun ammunition for hunting and target practice. Commercial hunting bullets, ranging in size from around 6 to 12mm, may differ from the conical shape of military bullets in that they 

Artillery ammunition for guns, howitzers, cannons, and mortars ranges upwards in calibre from the 20mm limit that generally divides it from small-arms ammunition. Artillery ammunition is divided into three types  

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.

The hot gases from the percussion primer permeate thru the baffle and initiate the BkPdr delay pellet, which burns under the reproducible pressure conditions which are obtained within the delay element housing, with a delay time of 0.035 sec. When the BkPdr element has burned thru, a spit of flame impinges on a detonator loaded with LA a true detonation develops and progresses successively thru the Tetryl-loaded lead-out, the Tetryl-loaded booster lead-in, the Tetryl-loaded booster and Explosive D (Ammonium Picrate) -loaded main (or bursting) charge of the projectile. 

Japanese 120mm Incendiary Projectile contained 48 steel pellets embedded in a canister filled with white phosphorous. Each pellet had an annular cavity to increase the amount of phosphorous that could be retained by each pellet. The shell was exploded by means of a bursting charge of HE, fired by a point-detonating fuse... 

Accdg to MUNIZIONAMENTO ITALIANO (Addnl Ref C), the terms proietto o proiettile are used referring to any heavy object which is fired from a gun and produces a destructive effect at a distance. This object may be solid (like an AP Bullet) or hollow (like HE Projectile) loaded with a bursting charge expl (carica di scoppio) which is detonated by an initiation train... 

It is listed as Keineyaku in Ref 5, p 366 and is stated that it can be used as a Bursting Charge in Projectiles as a Booster Charge, either alone or in mixtures with PA... 

TNT is a standard military expl in Spain, but it is not used in mining operations because of the production of noxious gases on expln. It is used as a bursting charge in projectiles, bombs and mines. It is the standard expl of the Pioneers (Zapadores) for demolition use with Petardos (av in this section ) (Ref 11. d 17)...
