High-performance projectile
First Claim
1. A projectile comprising:
- a hollow casing (2) having a tapered head portion and a cylindrical portion, the casing being formed of a hard material having a density and having an overall length and a caliber dimension, the ratio of the overall length and caliber dimension being between 3 and 6;
a core (3), inserted within the casing, the whole core being formed of a rigid high density plastic material having a lower density than the density of the casing material;
the head portion (4) of the projectile having a length between 1.5 and 3 times the caliber dimension;
the cylindrical portion (5) of the projectile having a length between 0.7 and 2 times the caliber dimension and being connected to the head portion;
the projectile further having a center of gravity (7) situated in the cylindrical portion.

Abstract
Low-recoil projectile with high stopping power, essentially made of at least two components, i.e. a hollow casing (2) made of a hard material and a core (3) made of a rigid material having a lower density than the casing (2) characterized in that the proportions of the lengths of the constituent parts of the projectile are: for the head (4), between 1.5 and 3 times the caliber dimension, for the cylindrical part (5) between 0.7 and 2 times the caliber dimension, and for the rear conical part (6) between 0 and 1 times the caliber dimension, the ratio 1/d (length versus caliber dimension) being situated between 2 and 3 and the center of gravity (7) of the projectile being situated in said cylindrical part of the projectile.
