Abstract
A projectile, includes a head having a forward tip and a rear end, a stem extending from the rear end of the head and formed integrally with the head, and a sleeve positioned adjacent to the head and being collinear with the head and coaxial with the stem. The sleeve is hollow and substantially cylindrical and has an inner diameter and an outer diameter. A base is formed integrally with the stem by pressing a rearward end of the stem and expanding a rear dimension of the stem to capture the sleeve between the base and the head. The head and the base are rotatably dependent upon each other by connection with the stem, and the head, stem, and base are rotationally independent of the sleeve.
Claims19
A projectile, comprising:
- a head having a forward tip and a rear end;
- a stem extending from said rear end of said head and formed integrally with said head;
- a sleeve, said sleeve positioned adjacent to said head and being collinear with said head, said sleeve being coaxial with said stem;
- said sleeve being hollow and substantially cylindrical and having an inner diameter and an outer diameter;
- and
- a base formed integrally with said stem by pressing a rearward end of said stem and expanding a rear dimension of said stem to capture said sleeve between said base and said head;
- wherein the head and the base are rotatably dependent upon each other by connection with said stem, and wherein said head, said stem, and said base are rotationally independent of said sleeve.
A projectile, comprising:
- a base;
- a stem adjacent to said base;
- a head at an end of said stem opposite from said base;
- and
- a sleeve disposed over said stem and captured between said base and said head, said sleeve capable of rotation relative to said head, said stem, and said base;
- said head disposed at one axial end of said sleeve, and said base disposed at an opposite axial end of said sleeve;
- said base formed by a flared end of said stem;
- said head, said stem, and said base being integrally formed;
- said sleeve having a larger diameter than said head and said base such that said sleeve is configured to rotate due to engagement of rifling of a weapon upon discharge of said weapon;
- wherein said sleeve rotates independently of said head and said base.
