Metallic solid projectile for practice cartridges, in particular for use on preferably police shooting ranges, wherein the solid projectile comprises a front-side ogival portion and a cylinder portion for holding the solid projectile in a cartridge case and defines a projectile length in the axial direction, wherein the ogival portion has an ogival wall and a rotationally symmetrical ogival cavity circumferentially bounded by the ogival wall, wherein it is provided that a fully cylindrical stem portion of the solid projectile extends in the axial direction over less than 45% of the projectile length.

A broadhead arrowhead having retractable blades wherein a plunger of the tip of the arrowhead causes the blades to shear a shear pin and deploy when the arrowhead strikes a target. In an alternative embodiment, the blades are retained in the arrowhead by a friction fit that is overcome to deploy the blades when the arrowhead strikes a target.

A bullet for expansion at subsonic speed of impact with a target. The bullet includes a pocket in its interior. A tip insert has a stem portion extending into the pocket. The stem portion and the pocket each have a portion with a cross sectional area that decreases from a forward end to a trailing end.

A projectile comprising a central slug axially circumscribed by a segmented cylindrical sleeve having a plurality of fragmenting segments and a base that opens into an interior cavity. A flange may circumscribe the base. A wad may fill the interior cavity, remaining attached to the central slug. The wad travels with projectile to set a geometric center behind the center of gravity of the projectile. A radially-segmented cylindrical sleeve receives the central slug. The cylindrical sleeve comprises inwardly sloping segments for funneling target material into the recess between the slug and cylindrical sleeve. The segments bend outwardly upon impact and are adapted to bend, compress or flex inwardly to pass through a muzzle choke.

The present invention relates to a hollow-point bullet, for example for police and/or authority ammunition with a caliber of at most 13 millimeters, which is made of iron, in particular soft iron.
