Abstract
A projectile fired from a weapon which has a bore with inner rifling, having a point and a base which are disposed within a sleeve such that the point and base of the projectile rotate independently of the sleeve when fired from a gun or similar weapon designed to discharge projectiles or similar material.
Claims4
A projectile, comprising:
- a head having a stem;
- a sleeve;
- a base, said head being longer than said base;
- said sleeve at least partially containing said head, and said base extending from an opposite end of said sleeve;
- said stem extending between said head and said base within said sleeve, said stem extending coaxially with said sleeve;
- wherein the head and the base are rotatably dependent upon each other by connection of said stem, and are rotationally independent of said sleeve;
- said base and said head having a smaller outer diameter than said sleeve, such that said sleeve is configured to engage rifling of a weapon upon discharge of said weapon;
- further wherein said sleeve rotates independently of said head and said base, and said sleeve is configured to rotate subject to spinning imparted by said rifling.
5 more elements
A projectile, comprising:
- a head,
- a sleeve,
- a base, said base being shorter than said head,
- said head disposed at one axial end of said sleeve, and said base disposed at an opposite axial end of said sleeve;
- a stem extending through said sleeve and extending between said base and said head;
- said stem joined to said head and threadably connected to said base;
- said sleeve having a larger diameter than said head and said base such that said sleeve is configured to spin due to engagement of rifling of a weapon upon discharge of said weapon;
- wherein the sleeve rotates independently of said head and said base, and rotation of said head and said base is limited due to reduced contact with said rifling and wherein
- said head and said base are rotatably dependent upon each other by connection with said stem and are independent of rotation of said sleeve.
