A bullet designed to expand reliably at subsonic velocities has a front end region divided by notches into petals and a groove on its exterior surface. Each notch may be separated into a notch forward segment and a notch rear segment by a discontinuity. Each notch may be cut with a depth such as to provide a web of material extending along a portion of the length of a central cavity.

A system and method for a modular, low lethal projectile is provided. The modular, low lethal projectile system comprises an exterior shell, propellant cartridge, and a projectile assembly. A propellant mounting area is arranged at a rear end of the exterior shell and is offset from a center of the exterior shell. A propellant cartridge is secured within the propellant mounting area. A firing pin of a firearm is configured to strike an edge of a cartridge primer of the propellant cartridge, which ignites a primer material and propellant within the propellant cartridge. The resulting hot, expanding gasses propel the projectile assembly form the firearm, and upon contact with a desired target, the capsule tube of the projectile assembly breaks, distributing an effective compound into the air around the desired target.

A remote treatment system may include a cone assembly including a spine and a cone body at least partially surrounding the spine, a marking payload, a syringe coupled to a portion of the cone assembly and adapted to store a syringe payload for treating a target, and a vanes cup. The vanes cup may have an inner diameter sized to receive an outer diameter of the syringe. The vanes cup may also include stabilization means for stabilizing the remote treatment system. Further, a pressure means within the vanes cup may be configured to apply a pressure against the payload within the syringe. In response to an impact between the cone assembly and the target, the payloads are expressed from the remote treatment system.

A bullet with controlled fragmentation has a core in the form of a generally cylindrical body having a forward end and a rear end and intermediate side portions extending there between, the forward end of the core defining a cavity, a jacket encompassing the rear end and at least selected portions of the sides of the core, the jacket having a sidewall having a first drive band portion having a first wall thickness, and a second portion immediately forward of the drive band portion having a second thickness less than the first thickness, the exterior of the jacket defining a cannelure groove encircling the bullet, and the cannelure groove being positioned forward of the first drive band portion. The drive band may have forward edge defining a step. The bullet of the present invention may also be received in the case mouth of a rimless case and be partially protruding therefrom.
