<p>The present invention relates to identifiable bullets (9, 20, 30, 40, 50) and methods for identifying such bullets. In one form, bullet (9) comprises a bullet jacket (10), a main part or core (13) and an identification section (16) held therein. The identification section (60) can include an identification section core (64) and an outer protective coating (66). The identification section core (64) and outer coating (66) are heat-resistant. They are also preferably flexible to resist damage when the bullet is discharged from a firearm and impacts an object. The identification section (24, 34, 44, 54) can be mounted within a chamber (37, 81, 84, 85) formed in the projectile main portion. A plug or end cap (26, 36, 46, 56) is advantageously positioned to help hold the identification section in place and help resist damage to the identification section. The chamber or chambers (37, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85), identification sections, and any plug may be constructed to mechanically interlock such as with annular grooves (28, 29, 45, 47, 57, 58) in which projections of the identification section (24, 34, 44, 54) and/or end cap (26, 36, 46, 56) extend to help secure the respective components in place.</p> |
