Abstract

A non-expanding bullet platform may comprise a modular jacket having an internal nose cavity and an internal heel cavity. The cavities may be separated by a divider. The cavities may be filled with suitable materials to produce various types of non-expanding bullets, such as military ball, trace, armor piercing, etc. Inventive non-expanding bullets may comprise full metal jacketed bullets or may have exposed material. The inventive bullets may be non-expanding, wherein the diameter of the bullet does not substantially increase upon impacting soft tissue.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to bullets and more specifically to a bullet platform capable of being used to manufacture a plurality of non-expanding bullet types.

[0002] Bullets for use with firearms are generally known, and have evolved since the 1800s from the simple lead ball. Current bullets are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials, with many specialized bullets optimized for particular applications. One type of bullet is the partition bullet, for example as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,003,420, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Hard jacketed bullets, developed to combat the problem of bullet deformation in the gun barrel, were found unsatisfactory because they would pass through the target without deformation, causing little damage to the target when compared to bullets without the hard jacket. A partition bullet generally includes a front portion which deforms upon impact with a tar...
