Abstract: A projectile for firearms comprises a body defining a generally cylindrical base portion opposite an ogive. The body further defines a longitudinal axis. A plurality of pairs of adjacent flutes are defined in the ogive. Each flute has a radius of curvature which decreases along the longitudinal axis from a leading edge to a trailing edge of the flute. The adjacent flutes of each pair define and are substantially symmetrical about a central ridge. Each ridge is coplanar with the longitudinal axis and has a lesser depth than a bottom surface of each flute relative to a curved outer surface of the ogive. Each ridge has a radius of curvature which decreases along the longitudinal axis from an origin to a terminus of the ridge. The decreasing radius of curvature of the flutes prevents the projectile from over penetrating human-sized soft tissue targets without sacrificing energy transfer to such targets.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a centering and guiding device (1) for a dental drill which comprises a body (10) including a guiding hole (15) for a dental drill and two arms (20, 30) pivotally coupled to the body (10). Each arm includes a respective free end (22, 32). Said arms (20,30) are capable of pivoting between a first open position, in which said respective free ends (22, 32) are mutually spaced apart to promote the movement of the device (1) from and towards an operating surface, and a second closed position, in which the free ends (22, 32) are approached to each other to match an operating surface. The device according to the invention also comprises an elastic element (40) to push the arms (20, 30) towards the closed position. According to the invention, each of said arms (20, 30) comprises a cylindrical end (27, 37), opposite to the corresponding free end (22, 32), accommodated in a corresponding seat (10A) defined by the body (10).
