A cartridge (1) is provided comprising a cartridge case (2) and a projectile arrangement (3; 3′) with an arrow projectile (5; 5′) with a sub-caliber control unit (7), wherein the projectile arrangement (3; 3′) is connected to the cartridge case (2) via a case cover (4), wherein, after firing of the projectile arrangement (3; 3′), a precise guiding of the arrow projectile (5; 5′) in the corresponding weapon barrel is ensured due to a receptacle device (28; 28′) that centers the control unit (7) of the arrow projectile (5; 5′), and that can be separated from the control unit (7) when the projectile arrangement (3; 3′) is fired. The receptacle device is connected to the case cover (4) on the projectile side, wherein the receptacle device grasps a ring-shaped rear flange (29; 29′) whose outer diameter corresponds to the projectile caliber of the respective cartridge (1).
