ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a dual purpose projectile and weapon combination whereby an individual can select one of two different projectile configurations and consequent performance characteristics when firing a single projectile from the weapon. In one projectile configuration, the projectile has a conventional bullet-shaped body and a frontal area corresponding to its caliber. This projectile is fired conventionally with normal velocity and obtains conventional performance characteristics. In the other projectile configuration, the projectile is configured to provide a low velocity short-range large frontal area missile having minimal penetration with high impact to obtain a disabling effect.
