Abstract

A projectile fired from a weapon which has a bore with inner rifling, having a point and a base which are disposed within a sleeve such that the point and base of the projectile rotate independently of the sleeve when fired from a gun or similar weapon designed to discharge projectiles or similar material.

Claims

1. A projectile for discharging from a weapon with a bore having inner rifling, said projectile comprising a head, a base, and a sleeve,

(1) wherein said head and base are disposed within said sleeve, and

(2) wherein said sleeve has a diameter larger than a diameter of said head and base, is rotatable independent of said head and base, and engages with said inner rifling, and

(3) wherein only said sleeve is subject to spinning imparted by said rifling.

2. A projectile for discharging from a weapon having inner rifling, comprising:

(1) a generally cylindrical body,

(2) a generally pointed head attached to an end of said body, and

(3) a cylindrical sleeve having a diameter larger than said body and head,

wherein said body and head are disposed within said sleeve.

3. The projectile of claim 2, wherein said sleeve is rotatable independent of said head and body.

4. The projectile of claim 2, wherein said sleeve engages with said inner rifling and is subject to spinning imparted by said rifling.

5. A method of firing a weapon, said method comprising:

(1) aiming a weapon comprising a bore having inner rifling toward a target, and

(2) discharging a projectile comprising a generally cylindrical body, a generally pointed head attached to an end of said body, and a cylindrical sleeve having a diameter larger than said body and head wherein said body and head are disposed within said sleeve.
