ABSTRACT:
A dividing bullet includes a projectile body having a longitudinal mid-plane and a pair of projectile halves. The halves are disposed on opposite sides of the longitudinal mid-plane and substantially symmetrical in relation to one another and to a longitudinal central axis of the projectile body. The dividing bullet also includes a seam extending through the projectile body formed between the halves along the longitudinal mid-plane of the projectile body. The halves are joined to one another along the seam by a joint that is weaker in strength than the material making up the pair of halves of the projectile body such that the projectile body will separate at the seam along the longitudinal mid-plane into the halves upon impact with a target.
