10845171 · 2020-11-24 · ·

Embodiments of a predictably fragmenting projectile having internally-arranged geometric features are disclosed herein. According to various embodiments, a predictably fragmenting projectile having internally-arranged geometric features can include a substantially solid core of a material; a substantially continuous and smooth outer ogive; a plurality of petals attached to the core and formed from the material, each of the plurality of petals can include a smooth outer surface and can be formed by two break lines formed on the inside of the petals; and a cavity that is located proximate to the core and inner surfaces of the plurality of petals. The fragmenting projectile can be configured to deform by at least one of the plurality of petals pivoting outwardly relative to the cavity.

Expanding subsonic bullet
10823539 · 2020-11-03 ·

A bullet designed to expand reliably at subsonic velocities has a leading end region divided by notches into petals. The exterior of the bullet has a groove configured to allow limited initial bending of the petals to facilitate spreading of the petals to increase the cross-section of the bullet upon impact with a target.

Expandable broadhead
10823537 · 2020-11-03 · ·

The present invention provides an expandable broadhead in which the inner surface of the blades contacts a band on the ferrule. The ferrule includes forward blade stops to securely align the blades in a closed position. The ferrule also includes rearward blade stops to securely align the blades in a fully deployed position. The blades can easily rotate to the fully deployed position when the broadhead contacts and penetrates a target. The kinetic energy used to deploy the blades is reduced given the angle of the blades and the angle of rotation of the blades.
