Abstract
A cartridge includes a gun barrel bullet made up of a metal head and an elastically deformable plug made up of two parts. The first plug part is connected to the head and defines an open ended chamber which is closed off by the second plug part. The first part includes a tapering pin which projects downwardly through the chamber and engages in an opening in the second part so that on firing the bullet remains an integral unit.
