ABSTRACT:
A bullet including the lead body in combination with a rotary aerodynamic brake. The brake is non-operative over a specified distance after firing so as not to degrade the bullet's lethal effectiveness. However, upon reaching the distance limit the brake operates to quickly reduce the speed and to stop the bullet so that it is no longer lethal.
