Abstract of the Disclosure A conversion assembly for converting a practice warhead into an armour penetrating warhead is disclosed. The practice warhead is the type having a plastic shell with sockets at either end for receiving a metal ballast, such as a steel rod. The conversion assembly consists of a penetrator rod with an outside diameter substantially less than the inside diameter of the sockets in the shell and two elastomeric material cups that are stretched over the ends of the penetrator rod and then fit into the sockets in the shell. The elastomeric material cup has, in a relaxed state, a substantially uniform peripheral wall thickness, an inner diameter slightly less than the outside diameter of the penetrator rod and an outside diameter slightly less than the inside diameter of the sockets in the shell. In preferred embodiments, the cup has a boss on its base to provide a flexible cushion to absorb differential expansion of the penetrator rod and the shell. It is further preferred that the elastomeric material is relatively hard, for example with a Shore A hardness of 70.
