It is proposed to combine the cascade effect of frangible pellets with sub-projectiles made of ductile heavy metal, that is, to produce a munition in which the advantages of for example frangible pellets of a central penetrator are combined with the advantages of the ductile heavy metal in an external penetrator\whereby an improved performance on various targets is achieved along with deeper impact speeds.

A universal KE-projectile according to claim 1, wherein the projectile tip as well as the exterior penetrator and the projectile sleeve encircling the central penetrator are aluminum. 3. A universal KE-projectile according to claim 1, wherein the projectile tip is formed from injected or injectable material including plastic. 4. A universal KE-projectile according to claim 3, wherein the plastic is a fiber reinforced thermal plastic. 5. A universal KE-projectile according to claim 1, wherein the exterior penetrator and a projectile shell encircling the central penetrator are plastic or a combination of plastic and steel or aluminum. 6. A universal KE-projectile according to claim 5, wherein the plastic is a fiber reinforced thermal plastic. 7. A universal KE-projectile according claim 1, wherein the metal is fixed in the external penetrator by means of plastic. 8. A method for manufacturing a projectile according claim 1 with the following steps; centering the central penetrator with or without an end penetrator and its sub-projectiles, connecting the external penetrator with the sub-projectiles around the central penetrator, fixing the sub-projectiles of the external penetrator by means of plastic, and producing a projectile sleeve which at least in the external penetrator region is thin. 9. A method according to claim 8 characterized in that the plastic for fixing the sub-projectiles in the exterior penetrator is injected from the projectile tip. 10. A method according to claim 8 characterized in that the plastic is also injected from the tail side. 11. Use of the projectile of claim 1 in a munition. 12. A universal KE-projectile comprising: a projectile tip; a projectile sleeve; a projectile tail end including a central penetrator; an exterior penetrator having a curved or banana shape, the exterior penetrator being connected around the central penetrator and containing a plurality of ball-shaped metal and/or a plurality of cylindrical-shaped metal and/or a plurality of cube-shaped metal and/or a plurality of block shaped metal; and a final penetrator at a rear part of the central penetrator including a ball-shaped metal and/or cylinder-shaped metal. 13. A universal KE-projectile according to claim 12, wherein the projectile tip as well as the exterior penetrator and the projectile sleeve encircling the central penetrator are aluminum. 14. A universal KE-projectile according to claim 12, wherein the projectile tip is formed from injected or injectable material including plastic. 15.
