This inventionrelates to projectiles, and particularly those designed for use in small arms at high pressures and great velocities.
the new projectileconsists of two parts-the c lindncal bod or ide partl e, the lines o Awhii1 latter are curved upon a fixed radius ⁇ r. Each of thesev of the total to meet special con itions, be desirable. ⁇
vagain taking the caliber as unityfor the length of body l, or .60; for the length of head s, .46 or .37.
⁇ A projectile constructed according to these relative dimensionsis found to possess a ca ⁇ acity for speed of flight in excess of the or inary projectile, great penetration, superior stopping effect, fiat trajectory, accuracy, and extended range.
a projectilehaving a pointed head formed by lines curved upon a radius of four to nine fold the caliber, and having its other dimensions substantially as set forth.
a projectilehaving a bodyV part substantiall 1.85 calibers in length, and a pointed ead substantially 2.19 calibers long, and having its other dimensions. substantially as set forth. y
a projectilehaving a. body art substantiall 1.85 calibers in lengt and a. pointed ead substantiall 2.19 calibers long, the lines of the ointed ead be' curved upon a radius of om 4.7 to 8.2 cali ers.
