ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention relates to a device for reducing the spread of shots in a weapon system which is simpler than previously known terminally corrected projectiles, wherein the shots are fired from the weapon in a ballistic trajectory from a launching device towards a target, and in which a braking command is transmitted to the ammunition unit in response to the difference between the actual position of the target and the predicted impact point for braking the velocity of the ammunition unit in order to improve the hit probability. The braking means preferably comprises a plurality of braking flaps distributed about the periphery of the ammunition unit. Normally the braking flaps are retracted but they can be activated into a protruding position. Alternatively, the desired braking effect can be obtained by separating different parts of the nose section from the body of the ammunition unit in order to increase its air-resistance.
