<p>A projectile comprises a jacket 2 of a malleable metal containing a pressed powder matrix 4 and holding at a forward end thereof a solid body 8. The projectile is configured such that, in use, on impact of the projectile with a target, the solid body 8 is forced rearwardly, relative to the direction of travel of the projectile, into the matrix 4. This causes the matrix 4 to break down into powder and the jacket 2 to deform to break open while remaining in one piece. The powder is ejected from the deformed jacket 2 with sufficient energy to cause trauma in the target while none of the components of the projectile has sufficient energy to escape from the target.</p> |
