ABSTRACT:
A bullet is formed of an explosive charge with a primer at one end and a projectile mass at the other end, all enclosed in a continuous plastic sheath. The sheath has a weakened central section to define a line of separation for a projectile section from the body of the plastic sheath when the explosive charge is fired. By controlling the weight of the projectile and the stress required to separate the plastic case at the weakened section, the impact characteristics of the projectile can be controlled. A blank is fabricated by eliminating the projectile and forming the weakened sheath section at the end of the sheath. The combined primer and charge is encased by a thin, plastic sheath portion which is thin enough to allow a weapon firing pin to fire the primer. The combined primer and charge is also formed of a small caliber blank with a conventional brass case.
