decreasing the time of flight in comparison to

standard type projectiles.
FUZE • -Three types of sub-caliber projectiles were used
The Pfielgeschoss which is a fin stabilized projec-
tile fired from' a smooth bored gun, the Triebspiegel

geschoss of Sabot projectile which is fired from a

<

normal rifled gun and the flange geschoss. The '

. flange geschoss is fired from a cylindrical, rifled

barrel to which a smooth bored, tapered muzzle ex-
tension is This. type of -projectile' is
attached;
iu
called a "Littlejohn" by the British and a Squeeze-
*
bore" by other services. .

The projectiles fired from guns of the type with

the tapered muzzle extension resemble the projec-
tiles which are fired from the Gerlieh gun which
. is^a tapered bore;, rifled gun. German personnel
"have stated that projectiles could be' interchanged
between Gerlidi a£jd squeeze-bore guns us the basic
''
problem is the same. This statement is then modi-
fied^ however, by .stating, that the projectile fired
from gun must be stronger than
a tapered bore
that fired from the squeeze-bore gun as maximum
setback force occurs at the same time that -the pro-
jectile being squeezed,
is *

Development and" testing of the ^squeeze-bore

projectiles was handled primarily by the private
firms in Germany, although all branches of the
service were interested in and advised of the devid-
opments. " TJre principal, firm working on this
project was the RhmeineUill-Borsig (A>. although 7
