A projectile having a projectile body for holding a penetrator, a projectile rear, and a projectile ogive. The projectile body has a narrowed point, on which the penetrator can be supported. The narrowed point results in reliable breaking open of the projectile body when the projectile hits a target.

A novel castable frangible projectile and techniques for manufacturing such are provided. A cartridge system includes a case defining a volume, a propellant disposed in the volume of the case, and a projectile coupled to the case. The projectile includes a body disposed at least partially within the case and configured to enclose the propellant within the volume of the case. The body is formed of a castable eutectic mixture, the castable eutectic mixture configured to be melted and cast, wherein the body is configured to break into a plurality of fragments upon impact with a target.

A bullet (100), having: a main body (102) with a bore (106) bounded by a sidewall (124); an insert (104) that is disposed in the bore and that has longitudinal splines (460) configured to form a longitudinal flute (4620 in the insert and to provide radial support for the sidewall of the bore. A leading end (466) of the flute is open.

An arrow with a first body having a cylindrical member with a first outside diameter, a first outer surface, a first inner diameter, a first proximate end, and a first distal end, where the first proximate end is configured to accept an arrow head, a second body having a hollow cylindrical member with a second outside diameter, a second inner diameter, a second outer surface, a second inner surface, a second proximate end, and a second distal end, where the second distal end is configured to accept fletching, and a nock, and a connecting means to couple the first body to the second body, where the connecting means establishes a linear alignment of the first body to the second body along the device's longitudinal axis, and where the connecting means permits the first body to be removable in relation to the second body.

A lethal projectile for immobilizing a target is capable of self-separating or otherwise opening after launch by a launcher and may release a payload prior to impact with a target. Opening may caused after an energy storage means of the projectile is charged beyond a threshold energy level. Charging of the energy storage means may be accomplished through dynamic induction when the projectile moves through a stationary magnetic field generated by a magnet of the launcher prior to launch, A control circuit can increase or decrease the magnetic field strength of the magnetic field in order to control the distance at which the projectile releases its payload, A rangefinder may provide distance information to the control circuit for charging the energy storage means to a specific energy level associated with the distance to a target.

A rifle cartridge with a bullet has desirable penetration capabilities and controlled separation of components upon terminal impact. In embodiments of the invention, the bullet comprises a forward component, a lead core, and a copper jacket. The lead jacket having a leading edge portion that extends to the cylindrical mid portion. The forward component may have a forward pointed ogive portion, a cylindrical mid portion, a mid ogive portion, and a pair of cylindrical portions separated by an annular groove. The jacket having a cannelure at the annular groove and the casing upper lip crimped into the cannelure.

An arrow with a first body having a cylindrical member with a first outside diameter, a first outer surface, a first inner diameter, a first proximate end, and a first distal end, where the first proximate end is configured to accept an arrowhead, a second body having a hollow cylindrical member, where the second distal end is configured to accept fletching, and a nock, and a connecting means to couple the first body to the second body, wherein the arrowhead is a hollow coring arrowhead configured to cut a volume of material through a target, and where mass and fluid passes through the coring arrowhead to the first body, and where one or more rods are positioned within the second body, where the rods are exposed to the target after the first body detaches from the second body.

The invention relates to bullets having increased frangibility (or which can be easily fragmented) and to powder materials and processes for the manufacture of such bullets. The bullets of the present invention are made from an iron alloy containing 75-81% Hoeganaes MH-100 Iron 0.6-0.09% Carbon, and balance of admixed Copper powder. Said bullets are then coated for lubricity so the bullet does not prematurely wear the barrel of a gun. Additionally, the invention provides a simple low cost process to make bullets that is amenable to mass production via automation.

A bullet having a front unit and a rear unit, the front unit adapted to house the rear unit is provided. The front unit has a fragmented section, a cavity wall section, and a separation ring. The separation ring being angled forward or rearward with respect to the center of the bullet or with respect to the outermost edge of the bullet and being disposed on the front unit between the fragmented section and the cavity wall section.

A liquid projection bomb includes a shell and is characterized in that functional liquid is filled into the shell, and the shell is made of a soft or hard material easy to crack when bumped. The functional liquid includes water, alcohol, fuel oil, and a solution of water mixed with an extinguishing agent, a fertilizer or a drug.
