ABSTRACT:
The invention is an improved partially jacketed projectile intended for small arms use. The projectile includes a central stem integral with a rear wall of the projectile, the rear wall in turn being integral with the partial jacket. A core surrounding the stem and encased by the jacket is softer than the material forming the stem, rear wall and jacket. The jacket retards core petalling during initial projectile impact whereas the rear wall configuration enhances petalling when the projectile achieves subsequent target penetration.
