Title: Incendiary projectile

Abstract: An incendiary projectile, particularly an armor-piercing projectile, including an incendiary composition constituted of a metal powder admixture as a reducing agent and an inorganic oxidizing agent; and a binding agent for converting these components into a solid form. The oxidizing agent is a nitrate or peroxide of the elements selected from the group consisting of potassium, strontium or barium, the oxidizing and reduction agents being present in about equal parts in the incendiary composition. Binding agents are included in the admixture in a predetermined amount so as to formulate the admixture into a hard-grained agglomerate and to produce a resultant increased impact sensitivity of the incendiary composition.
