In a round of ammunition particularly intended for use against airborne targets, such as aircraft, explosive material and oxygen releasing carrier material are arranged within a casing, preferably in a number of layers, with at least a portion of the materials arranged for detonation under time delay, for increasing the flammability of the target. To increase the likelihood of damage of the target, the casing is arranged to splinter and splinter forming materials can be incorporated into one or more of the layers. In addition, to further promote the flammability to the target, material to support and enhance flammability is incorporated into the material within the casing.

A round of ammunition, particularly for use against airborne targets, such as aircraft and similar targets, said round of ammunition comprising a casing capable of fragmenting into splinters, explosive material in the form of at least one explosive charge located within and capable of fragmenting said casing, oxygen for reaction with fuel or other combustible materials in the target, and material for supporting the flammability of combustible material located on or in the target, wherein the improvement comprises that said casing has a shaped head portion and an axially extending cylindrically shaped portion extending axially rearwardly from said head portion, a core of explosive material located within and extending in the axial direction of the cylindrically shaped portion of said casing, an inner ring-shaped body of oxygen releasing material laterally disposed about said core, an outer ring-shaped body of explosive material laterally enclosing said inner ring-shaped body, first means for igniting said outer ring-shaped body and second means within said casing for providing a delayed ignition of at least said core of explosive material relative to the ignition of said outer ring-shaped body.
