ABSTRACT:
A dividing bullet includes a projectile body and a seam through the projectile body. The projectile body has a longitudinal central axis and a plurality of individually jacketed longitudinally extending segments. Each segment has an inner core of a first material and outer jacket of a second material substantially encasing the inner core of the first material. The plurality of jacketed segments are symmetrically disposed about the longitudinal central axis. The seam extends through the projectile body between the individually jacketed segments thereof. The individually jacketed segments are joined together at the seam by a joint that is weaker in strength than the second material making up the outer jacket of each of the jacketed segments such that the projectile body will separate at the seam into the jacketed segments upon impact with a target. The second material of the outer jacket of each of the jacketed segments is greater in strength than the first material of the inner core thereof. The plurality of jacketed segments can be two, three or four in number.
