ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An armour piercing projectile is disclosed, which has a primary penetration body and a secondary penetration body. In known armour piercing projectiles, the projectile passes through the armour but then has no fragmentation effect. The projectile of this invention has a primary penetration body arranged within a secondary penetration body. Furthermore, the projectile has bursting and/or incendiary charges as well as the means of ignition for these charges. The primary penetration body is arranged at the rear end of the projectile and is surrounded by a substantial- ly tube-like secondary penetration body. The length of the second- ary body is substantially greater than the primary body so that a cavity is formed within the secondary penetration body in front of the primary body. This cavity contains bursting and/or incendiary charges which by means of an ignition charge, arranged in the nose of the projectile are ignited by impingement against the target. The bore of the secondary penetration body has means to prevent the primary penetration body from moving forwardly into the cavity before the projectile hits the target.
