ABSTRACT:
A projectile includes members that deploy upon impact with a target. The projectile includes a nose piece with a portion that shears off upon impact with the target, causing the nose piece to be pushed inside the projectile. As the nose piece is pushed inside the projectile, the nose piece pushes on members that deploy outwardly and lock into place, thereby greatly increasing the damage done to the target. The projectile is easily assembled by placing the two members through an axial cylindrical hole into slots, then placing the nose piece into the axial cylindrical hole. The deployable members are held within the body of the projectile in flight, and only deploy when the projectile strikes a target, greatly increasing the damage to the target.
