Projectiles for ammunition and methods of making and using the same
A projectile 1 for ammunition is disclosed, said projectile 1 comprising an outer profile geometry on an ogive-shaped impact end portion 5 thereof, said outer profile geometry comprising two or more notches 2 extending in at least one of (i) an axial, (ii) parallel or (iii) slightly inclined orientation relative to a dissecting axis 3 extending longitudinally through said impact end portion 5 of said projectile 1, wherein each notch 2 (a) comprises notch surface portions 4,7 so as to increase (i) an overall outer surface area of said ogive end portion 5 of projectile 1, and (ii) a given length of an outer surface periphery Sp extending along a line within a plane normal to said dissecting axis 3, and (b) is surrounded by an outer side surface 51 of said ogive-shaped impact end portion 5 of said projectile 1. In other words, the presence of the two or more notches 2 increases a length of an outer surface periphery Sp extending along a line within a plane normal to said dissecting axis 3 relative to the same outer surface periphery Sp extending within the same plane normal to said dissecting axis 3 when a notch is not present.
Aerodynamic projectile
A projectile has a front portion, a divider and a cylindrical portion. The front portion has a wall defining an interior cavity, which is closed by the divider. The cylindrical portion comprises a cylindrical sidewall having an outer surface and an inner surface. The projectile also has a plurality of depressions in the cylindrical sidewall. The depressions have an outlet adjacent the second end, an inlet toward the first end and a neck area between the inlet and the outlet. A width of the inlet is smaller than a width of the outlet. The depressions at the neck area have a curved sidewall, but a generally straight sidewall between the neck area and the outlet. The surface of the depression extends at a ramp angle from the outer surface of the sidewall at the inlet of the depression toward the inner surface of the sidewall at the outlet.

NON-PYROTECHNIC AERIAL DISPLAY APPARATUS
A non-pyrotechnic aerial display apparatus may include a head portion and a wing portion. The head portion may include a front portion, a rear portion, and a plurality of channels extending from the front portion toward the rear portion. The wing portion may extend rearward from the head portion. The wing portion may include a top surface, a bottom surface, a leading edge, a trailing edge, a rear edge extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge, and an airfoil extending along the leading edge. The wing portion may include a counterweight. The apparatus may include one or more forward-facing lights. The apparatus may include one or more rearward-facing lights. Other examples may be described and claimed.
