Expanding bullet

A method for producing an expanding bullet, comprising:

• providing a solid material;
• and
• processing, using massive forming, the solid material to produce the expanding bullet, wherein:
• the expanding bullet has a cylindrical section and a truncated-cone-shaped section divided into segments, a bullet tip being situated at an end of the truncated-cone-shaped section that faces away from the cylindrical section;
• the truncated-cone-shaped section includes at least one planned breaking point formed therein, and a channel having a mouth in a region of the bullet tip;
• the processing of the solid material comprises splitting the end of the truncated-cone-shaped section into a plurality of segments and forming a central recess in the split end of the end of the truncated-cone-shaped section;
• and
• the processing of the solid material further comprises closing a bullet mold after forming the central recess, the segments being bent over in a direction of a central axis of the expanding bullet to form the channel.
