Improved Bullet, Weapon Provided with Such Bullets, Kit for Assembling the Same, and Corresponding Methods of Manufacturing, Operating and Use Associated Thereto

A method of reducing drag from a bullet propelled by a blast of a cartridge, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a bullet having a main body provided with an internal body cavity and comprising a frontward section, a rearward section and an opening being formed in the rearward portion and in fluid communication with the internal body cavity;
• recovering a portion of gun gas resulting from the blast of the cartridge in said internal body cavity via said opening;
• and
• allowing gun gas present inside said internal body cavity to exit via said opening as the bullet is propelled.

A bullet (1) configured to be propelled by a blast of a cartridge, the bullet comprising a main body (3) acting as a projectile and having:

• a frontward section;
• a rearward section having an opening;
• and
• an internal body cavity in fluid communication with the opening for the internal body cavity to recover a portion of gun gas resulting from the blast of the cartridge.

A method of reducing drag from a bullet propelled out of a barrel of a weapon via a cartridge, the bullet having a main body, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing at least one internal body cavity about the main body of the bullet;
• recovering a portion of gun gas resulting from a blast of the cartridge during firing of the weapon, and conveying said portion of gun gas into said at least one internal body cavity of the bullet via a corresponding fluid passage;
• and
• allowing gun gas present inside said at least one internal body cavity of the bullet to exit as the bullet exits the barrel of the weapon, thereby fluidly filling a void behind the bullet during flight trajectory, in order to reduce a resulting drag of the bullet, for an improved overall ballistic performance of the bullet.
