ABSTRACT:
A bullet is formed of a plurality of elongate malleable elements, such as copper wires, disposed in an entwined composite mass. Elongate elements extend in a helical pattern from the tail end toward the nose end of the mass and are compacted into a bullet-shaped configuration. The tail end of the elements may be encircled by a jacket which retains the elements against separation, while the nose end portions of the elements are capable of separation upon striking an object.
