Abstract
A projectile for firing from an ammunition shell. The projectile includes an elongated hollow body of a resilient material, the hollow body further having a trailing end, a mid-portion, and a leading end, the leading end being closed and the trailing end having an aperture providing access to the interior surface. A propellant is included near the leading end of the hollow body and against the interior surface of the elongated hollow body, so that the interior surface of the hollow body between the trailing end of the hollow body and the mid-portion of the hollow body defines a hollow space. The projectile is adapted for placement within the ammunition shell to allow firing of the projectile from a shotgun or the like.

A projectile for firing from an ammunition shell, the projectile comprising:
- an elongated hollow body of a resilient material, the elongated hollow body having an exterior surface and an interior surface, the hollow body further having a trailing end, a mid-portion, and a leading end, the leading end having an endwall having at least one aperture and the trailing end having an aperture providing access to the interior surface;
- a propellant, the propellant being near the leading end and against the interior surface of the elongated hollow body, so that the interior surface of the hollow body between the trailing end of the hollow body and the mid-portion of the hollow body defines a hollow space.
A projectile for firing from a shotgun ammunition shell, the projectile comprising:
- an elongated hollow body of a resilient material, the elongated hollow body being adapted for insertion into the shotgun ammunition shell and having an exterior surface and an interior surface, the hollow body further having a trailing end, a mid-portion, and a second end, the leading end having an endwall having at least one aperture and the trailing end having an aperture leading to the interior surface;
- a propellant, the propellant being near the leading end, at a distance from and opposite to said aperture in said endwall, and against the interior surface of the elongated hollow body, so that the interior surface of the hollow body between the trailing end of the hollow body and the mid-portion of the hollow body defines a hollow space.
An ammunition shell for a shotgun, the ammunition shell comprising:
- a cartridge having means for accepting a primer;
- and
- a projectile comprising:
- an elongated hollow body of a resilient material, the elongated hollow body being adapted for insertion in said cartridge and having an exterior surface and an interior surface, the hollow body further having a trailing end, a mid-portion, and
- a leading end, the leading end having an endwall having at least one aperture and the trailing end having an aperture adapted for placement about the means for accepting a primer and for providing access to the interior surface;
- a propellant, the propellant being near the leading end and against the interior surface of the elongated hollow body, the interior surface of the hollow body between the trailing end of the hollow body and the mid-portion of the hollow body defining a skirt section, the skirt section holds the propellant at a distance from the means for accepting a primer, so that the discharge of a primer will travel through the distance through the hollow body to the propellant.
