  • Publication number: 20100224093
    Abstract: A partial fragmentation bullet comprising a nose core, which forms a fragmenting portion of the partial fragmentation bullet, and a rear core, which forms a penetration portion of the partial fragmentation bullet. The nose core and the rear core are made of materials having the same level of hardness. This level of hardness is in the Brinell hardness range.

  • Patent number: 7543535
    Abstract: Rifle bullet for hunting purposes, with a jacket of a lead-free soft ductile material and a core, connected to the jacket, made from a material softer than the jacket. The aim of the invention is to improve the bullet to provide a persistent cut of hair and bleeding at the point of entry, mushrooming in a controlled manner with considerable cross-sectional enlargement, whilst only marginally breaking up with a high residual weight (90% and more). The rifle bullet has a thinly-jacketed bullet tip and has a marked sharp edge at the transition point of the jacket on the bullet tip to a substantially thicker-jacketed tail section. The rifle bullet is internally provided with a circumferential channel reducing the wall thickness of the jacket at said point, filled with the core material.

  • Patent number: 7331294
    Abstract: A rifled slug is provided with a metal head (1) and a plastic rear part (2), which is made as a single piece from a pin-shaped front part (5), with a rod-shaped middle part (6) joined to the rear of the front part, and with a plunger-shaped rear part (7). The front part (5) is inserted from the rear into a pocket hole of the metal head (1) and is joined thereto in a captive manner. This improves a rifled slug of the aforementioned type by increasing the precision, i.e. reducing the dispersion in the target. To this end, the front part (5) is provided in the form of a hollow body and is joined to the middle part (6) via a predetermined breaking point (14), whereby when shooting, the middle part (6) slides into the cavity of the front part (5) until the upper surface (19) of the rear part (7) strikes the lower surface (20) of the front part (5).

  • Patent number: 6367387
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an under-calibered gun-barrel bullet, in particular for guns with a partially or fully rifled barrel, which is received by a thrust cage. The task of the present invention is providing a further such gun-barrel bullet. This task is solved thereby that the under-calibered gun-barrel bullet comprises a shell jacket (2) which, relative to its loaded position, receives a bullet core (3) displaceable in the direction of the gun-barrel end, whose displacement caused by the blast generation in the shell jacket (2), is limited by an abutment (9) whereby the final form of the gun-barrel bullet (1) is established.

  • Patent number: 5722035
    Abstract: A hunting projectile with a hollow point is produced with a only few working steps, and in particular a hollow point construction is formed out only in one working step. For this purpose the whole projectile is made of a metal powder by a powder-metallurgical process and then calibrated and during the powder pressing, the hollow tip construction is brought in so that during the calibration it is deformed to produce a final projectile tip.
