Hmm. I'm going to correct what I said before. Rotation causes tumbling in a finned projectile. The problem with stabilization by rotation si that the longer the projectile is in relation to diameter, the faster must be spinned to provide stability. I don't know how faster in relation to ratio...

yes, the point is, when fired from a conventional gun, the penetrator is contained in a sabot that is discharged in flight, and the pressure of the explosion of the propellant is uneven. All of this, and other things (wind pressure on imperfections of the rod etc) causes the rod to tumble and...

I don't know is this is the best subsection i which to post this question. Please indicate me the right place, eventually. And forgive me for not so sublime english, as I'm not a naturally english speaker. Now... I think it's proven that the most effective projectile, in terms of...
