Lead-free partial fragmentation bullet with separation mechanism between the rear of the bullet and bullet ogive
The invention relates to a lead-free partial fragmentation bullet comprising a bullet jacket, a rear core compressed therein, and a nose core compressed in the ogive region, wherein the tip core sits on the rear core. In order that the rear core does not separate from the contacting bullet jacket upon striking a target body and to thereby guarantee a sure exit wound out of the target body, a predetermined breaking point is proposed which is arranged between the rear core and the nose core. The rear core has a molded recess on the end thereof facing the nose core, the end of the nose core facing the tail core fills in said recess, and the bullet jacket has a peripheral break away edge on the outer circumference in the region of the predetermined breaking point.
1. A lead-free partial fragmentation bullet consisting of a bullet jacket having a peripheral tear-away edge, a rear core pressed into the bullet jacket and a pressed nose core in an ogive region, the nose core sitting on the rear core, a predetermined breaking surface disposed between the rear core and the nose core, the rear core having a recess at an end facing the nose core, the nose core filling the recess of the rear core facing the nose core, and the bullet jacket having the peripheral tear-away edge on an outside circumference thereof in a region of the predetermined breaking surface, a peripheral holding groove for holding the bullet jacket and the rear core together until mushrooming begins which is in the bullet jacket below the peripheral break-away edge, and the peripheral tear-away edge is located beneath a beginning of and above an end of the predetermined breaking surface as viewed in an axial direction.
2. The partial fragmentation bullet according to claim 1 , wherein the recess is conical.
3. The partial fragmentation bullet according to claim 2 , wherein the nose core completely fills the end of the rear core facing the nose.
4. The partial fragmentation bullet according to claim 1 , wherein the bullet jacket axially above the peripheral tear-away edge is thinner than the bullet jacket axially below peripheral break-away edge.
5. The partial fragmentation bullet according to claim 1 , wherein the bullet jacket adjacent the nose core is thinner than the bullet jacket adjacent the rear core.
6. The partial fragmentation bullet according to claim 1 , wherein a fragmentable part of the bullet consists of the nose core and the adjacent bullet jacket adjacent thereto;
and a remaining part of a non-fragmentable body of the bullet consists of the rear core and the bullet jacket adjacent thereto.
