Controlled Fragmentation. 32. The Application of the Grooved-Charge Principle to Spin-Stabilised Shell, 2

Abstract

The investigation into the application of the grooved-charge method of controlling fragmentation to spin-stabilised shell has been continued with the 3-in. 70 cal. shell to design D2(L)5851/GE/880. An attempt has been made to obtain full-length bar fragments, but only half-length bars were obtained. The failure was probably to the presence of a forward driving band, but the results have also indicated a need for further research with parallel-walled canisters of similarly hard steel.
