A projectile for use in a shooting application is disclosed. In one embodiment, the projectile includes a base. The projectile also includes a body coupled to the base, wherein the body is hollow and is used to contain a payload material tailored for a specific shooting application. The projectile further includes a threaded tip coupled to the body. The threaded tip has a stem and a threaded portion, and is threaded to body to be removably coupled to the body. The threaded tip is made using a tip material tailored for the specific shooting application.

The present invention is a rear-deploying broadhead with an outer housing, an inner spine, and at least two blades pivotally attached to the inner spine, with the inner spine having a plunger end and a pointed end. The outer housing has a closed end that terminates proximal the body to an arrow shaft and an open second end. The inner spine is shorter than the outer housing and disposed in the center of the outer housing, with the plunger seated inside the outer housing adjacent the end of the outer housing. The two blades are configured to deploy through the open sides of the outer housing upon movement of the inner spine toward the end of the outer housing. The broadhead has a coating of non-latex material that is retained until the broadhead impacts a target, at which point the blades deploy through the coating.

A bumper for preventing a forward portion of an electrode from penetrating a target comprises a rearward portion and an expandable portion. The rearward portion is configured to couple the bumper to a forward portion of an electrode. The expandable portion may comprise a plurality of members. The expandable portion is configured to transition from a collapsed state to an expanded state after being launched toward a target. The expanded state comprises a greater contact area than the contact area of the collapsed state. The greater contact area of the expanded state is configured to distribute a force of impact on the target to prevent penetration into the target. The transition from the collapsed state to the expanded state may be configured to increase a duration of impact with the target, thereby reducing a force of impact on the target to prevent penetration into the target.

Devices and methods for an 8 mm semiautomatic handgun cartridge providing a reduced form factor for carrying a greater number of rounds in a smaller space while maintaining ballistic performance.

A rimless cartridge comprising a case and a bullet mounted therein. In embodiments, the bullet comprises a jacket having a cylindrical body portion, an ogive portion, and a plurality of longitudinally extending paths of weakness formed in the ogive portion and defining petals there between and extending rearward from the mouth. The bullet includes a malleable core mounted within the jacket. The bullet further comprises a circumferential groove between forward and rearward circumferential indentations imparted in the body portion of the jacket.

A system and method for associating an audio signal with a Personal Mobile Device (PMD) of a user is provided and includes associating a user with the Personal Mobile Device (PMD) of a user, associating at least one of the user and the PMD with a processing device, determining if the user is using an exercise machine having an exercise machine television and identifying which exercise machine the user is using, determining which channel is being displayed on the exercise machine television and transmitting the audio signal for the channel being displayed available to the user's PMD.
