Abstract
The present invention provides a projectile device and a method of manufacture of a projectile device and in particular to a pistol bullet and a rifle bullet and method of manufacture of the same. In one embodiment, the projectile apparatus has a cylindrical body portion having a diameter, a front nose section tapering from a most proximal point of the projectile to the cylindrical body portion, and a rear tail section connected to the body portion and extending to the most distal point of the projectile, in which the front nose portion comprises a plurality of twisting depressions forming troughs.
Claims20
A projectile with enhanced performance characteristics for use with a firearm, comprising:
- a cylindrical body with a first end and a second end which define a first length therebetween;
- a nose portion comprising:
- a tip on a forward-most portion;
- a nose rear end opposite the tip;
- a second length extending from the forward-most portion to the nose rear end, the nose rear end integrally interconnected at a first junction to the first end of the cylindrical body;
- a first nose portion with a concave radius of curvature integrally to the tip, wherein the first nose portion is concave tapers outwardly from the tip such that a first diameter of the first nose portion increases from the tip to a second junction;
- and
- a second nose portion with a convex radius of curvature integrally interconnected at the second junction to the first nose portion and integrally interconnected at the first junction to the first end of the cylindrical body, wherein the second nose portion is convex and tapers outwardly from the second junction such that a second diameter of the second nose portion increases from the second injunction to the first injunction;
- and
- a base with a base end at a rear-most portion of the projectile, the base integrally interconnected at a third injunction to the second end of the cylindrical body, wherein the base tapers inwardly from the third junction such that a third diameter of the base decreases from the third injunction to the base end.
A bullet adapted for insertion into a casing filled with an explosive propellant, comprising:
- a front end comprising a tip;
- a rear end comprising a base;
- a cylindrical body integrally interconnected on a first end to the base, the cylindrical body having a second end opposite the first end, wherein the cylindrical body has a consistent diameter between about 0.20 inches and about 0.50 inches;
- and
- a nose portion interconnected to the second end of the cylindrical body, the nose portion tapering outwardly from the tip to the cylindrical body, wherein the nose portion comprises:
- a first nose portion extending from the tip, wherein the first nose portion has a concave radius of curvature and tapers outwardly from the tip such that a first diameter of the first nose portion increases from the tip to a first point;
- and
- a second nose portion integrally interconnected to the first nose portion at the first point and integrally interconnected to the second end of the cylindrical body at a second point, wherein the second nose portion has a convex radius of curvature and tapers outwardly from the first nose portion towards the cylindrical body such that a second diameter of the second nose portion increases from the first point to the second point.
A projectile with enhanced performance characteristics for use with a firearm, comprising:
- a longitudinal axis;
- and
- a one-piece body comprising:
- a tip at a first end;
- a nose tapering outwardly from the tip;
- a cylindrical body integrally interconnected with the nose at a first junction and extending from the first junction to a second junction;
- and
- a base integrally interconnected with the cylindrical body at the second junction and extending from the second junction to a rear end of the one-piece body,
- wherein the nose has a diameter that increases from the tip to the first junction,
- wherein the nose has a first portion proximate the tip with a concave radius of curvature and a second portion proximate the cylindrical portion with a convex radius of curvature.
