Abstract

A novel biological active bullet able to be discharged from a firearm, the ammunition essentially comprising a bullet in a cartridge, the bullet associated with/containing at least one biological active substance, along with a method of use of delivering with this bullet at least one biological active substance having at least one biological effect in the target upon impact and penetration, in addition to the bullet wound, and thus, having additional functions and applications than prior art bullets.

Claims

1. A method of applying at least one biologically active/potentially biologically active substance to a lethal metal bullet projectile with at least one excipient ingredient;

said lethal metal bullet projectile structured to be packaged in a cartridge/shell and configured to be discharged from a gun/firearm and used as a weapon;

said at least one biologically active/potentially biologically active substance causing at least one harmful effect/biological effect including tissue damage in a human target immediately after impact and penetration of said lethal metal bullet projectile into said human target;

said at least one harmful effect/biological effect including tissue damage in addition to a tissue wound caused by said impact/penetration of said lethal metal bullet projectile to ensure enhanced damage and lethality of said bullet projectile, and capable of making a normally non-fatal gunshot wound fatal;

said at least one biologically active/potentially biologically active substance is chosen from non-organic catalysts and serves as a necrotic agent when becoming chemically, biologically, and thermodynamically active and cytotoxic from interaction with bodily materials, including bodily fluids, upon lethal metal bullet projectile impact and penetration, undergoing chemical reactions in said human target, including with bodily fluids, and resulting in at least one of electrolyte and gas delivered to tissue within said human target;

said at least one excipient ingredient serves as a stabilizing agent to stabilize said at least one biologically active/potentially biologically active substance at least before delivery to/within said human target, preventing said at least one biologically active/potentially biologically active substance from reacting until exposed in bodily fluids, and therefore, enhancing delivery of said at least one active/potentially active substance to tissue within said human target.

2. A method of applying at least one biologically active/potentially biologically active substance to a non-plastic lethal bullet body as at least one plug/bullet body portion that at least partially dissolves in bodily fluids;

said non-plastic lethal bullet body structured to be packaged in a cartridge/shell and configured to be discharged from a gun/firearm and used as a weapon;

said at least one biologically active/potentially biologically active substance having at least one effect/biological effect including tissue damage inside a human target after impact and penetration into said human target;

said at least one effect/biological effect including tissue damage in addition to tissue damage caused by impact/penetration of said non-plastic lethal bullet body, and capable of making a non-fatal gunshot wound fatal;

said at least one biologically active/potentially biologically active substance is chosen from non-organic catalysts and serves as a necrotic agent when becoming chemically, biologically, and thermodynamically active and cytotoxic from interaction with bodily materials, including bodily fluids, undergoing chemical reactions in said human target, including with bodily fluids, and resulting in at least one of electrolyte and gas delivered to tissue within said human target.
