ABSTRACT:
The invention is a fragmenting bullet comprising a copper jacket surrounding a core made from compressed, irregularly shaped lead rods. The bullet's nose has a truncated cone shape with a flat nose, wherein the jacket is open at the nose and extends slightly past the core. The bullet not only has the typical ability of fragmenting bullets to transfer energy to its target quickly and avoid overpenetrating the target, but is also able to penetrate soft body armor while retaining its other advantages.
