According to the invention, an interface (21) is provided to separate the projectile head (2) from the guide system part (4) to prevent a rearwardly directed effect from being reduced by the guide system or guide system part (4). The interface (21) comprises a transition or transfer part (8). The projectile head (2) comprises a case (3) for receiving the payload (19). The case (3) and the transition part (8) form the interface (21). The case (3) and the transition part (8) are conically designed or shaped (10, 11) in their common connection zone (9). Locking grooves (12, 13) and feed grooves (14, 15) are provided within the interface (21).

The drone (5) furthermore has a computer or processor enabling the drone to take decisions, to be able autonomously to patrol a specified area and to communicate, to which end the drone (5) has at least one transmission and receiving apparatus. A method according to the invention for attacking at least one target (8) with at least one drone (5) comprises the steps: programming the drone (5) with data for image recognition, inputting the search area in which the target (8) is expected to be located, detecting a target (8) and flying to the target (8), preferably directly, wherein said drone flies towards a barrel opening (10.1) of a weapon barrel (10) of the target (8) and the alignment of the weapon barrel (10) is detected so that it is possible to place the at least one effector (5.2) into the weapon barrel (10). Alternatively, a further method for attacking at least one target (8) with at least one drone (5) is characterized by the steps: programming the drone (5) with data for image recognition, inputting the search area in which the target (8) is expected to be located, detecting a target (8) and flying to the target (8), preferably directly, wherein said drone (5) flies towards a weapon barrel (10) of the target (8) and the drone (5) clamps around the barrel (10) or at least can hold onto the weapon barrel (10) and the at least one effector (5.2) modifies an internal geometry of the weapon barrel (10) and the weapon barrel (10) is, for example, ripped open no later than when a projectile is fired.
A fragment-free propulsion of a cartridge-type ammunition, including a propellant casing and a high-pressure chamber, wherein the high-pressure chamber accommodates a propellant powder and, in the bottom region, a primer, having at least one overflow bore. To avoid fragments, a membrane, which separates the high-pressure chamber and a low-pressure chamber from one another and which does not tear to connect the high-pressure chamber to the low-pressure chamber when pressure is built up but instead is bent, is embedded in the high-pressure chamber. For this purpose, the high-pressure chamber additionally has a cap, the membrane, and a body. The membrane is embedded in the body and is secured by the cap. In addition, the membrane covers a gap that is formed by an outer diameter of the cap and an inner diameter of the body, and into which the membrane is bent when pressure is built up.
A projectile that extends in the longitudinal direction and can be introduced into a cartridge by means of a casing. Moreover, the projectile has a projectile body that contains both a penetrator and an expanding medium. Characterizing the present invention, it is proposed to use metal foam, in particular air-foamed aluminum, as the expanding medium.
