ABSTRACT A spinning tubular projectile (STUP) is subcalibre to reduce retardation. It is fired with low spin to reduce the gyroscopic stability. The total effect is to reduce crosswind sensitivity and to obtain a better ballistic match with a simulated armour piercing for stabilized, discarding sabot (APFSDS) round. To reduce the range to that desired for a limited range practice round, the STUP is equipped with spin-damping fins on its surface near the projectile centre of gravity.
