A method for producing a shell and a shell produced by this method, wherein the shell has a projectile, a combustible propellant charge casing, and a casing cover that joins the propellant charge casing with the projectile, such that the projectile has a sealing ring adjacent to the casing cover. To
A method for producing a shell and a shell produced by this method, wherein the shell has a projectile, a combustible propellant charge casing, and a casing cover that joins the propellant charge casing with the projectile, such that the projectile has a sealing ring adjacent to the casing cover. To realize cost-effective assembly of a shell of this type, the casing cover is produced as an injection molded part made of an elastic plastic, such that the front end region of the casing cover facing the projectile forms the sealing ring.

1. A method for producing a shell with a projectile, a combustible propellant charge casing, and a casing cover that joins the propellant charge casing with the projectile, where the projectile has a sealing ring adjacent to the casing cover, the method comprising the steps of: producing the casing cover by injection molding with an elastic plastic, such that a front end region of the casing cover facing the projectile forms the sealing ring; joining the casing cover with the propellant charge casing and the projectile; and providing an annular rated break point in the casing cover so as to be between the front end region and an adjacent rearward main body portion of the casing cover, so that upon ignition of the propellant charge the casing cover separates along the annular break point whereby the front end region forms the sealing ring of the projectile passing through a weapon barrel, and the rearward main body portion of the casing cover is forced out of a mouth of the weapon barrel by drive gases, wherein the front end region has an axial length substantially smaller than an axial length of the rearward main body of the casing cover. 2. The method in accordance with claim 1, including pressing or shrinking the region of the casing cover that forms the sealing ring onto the projectile. 3. The method in accordance with claim 1, including fastening the region of the casing cover that forms the sealing ring to the projectile by adhesive bonding. 4. The method in accordance with claim 1, including fastening the region of the casing cover that forms the sealing ring to the projectile by a locknut. 5. A shell, comprising: a projectile that includes a subcaliber penetrator and a discarding sabot; a combustible propellant charge casing; and a casing cover that joins the propellant charge casing with the sabot, wherein the sabot has a sealing ring adjacent to the casing cover, the casing cover being an injection molded part made of an elastic plastic and the sealing ring being formed by a front end region of the casing cover, an annular break point being provided in the casing cover between the front end region and an adjacent rearward main body portion of the casing cover, so that upon ignition of the propellant charge the casing cover separates along the annular break point whereby the front end region forms the sealing ring of the projectile passing through a weapon barrel, and the rearward main body portion of the casing cover is forced out of a mouth of the weapon barred by drive gases, wherein the front end region has an axial length substantially smaller than an axial length of the rearward main body of the casing cover. 6. The shell in accordance with claim 5, wherein the sabot is a cup sabot with a plate-shaped propulsion element that acts on a rear end of the subcaliber penetrator, wherein the front end region of the casing cover that serves as the sealing ring encloses the propulsion element. 7. The shell in accordance with claim 5, and further comprising a locknut arranged to fasten the sealing ring to the projectile.
