Armor-penetrating two-part bullet

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a “two-part bullet” consisting of a projectile body and penetrator. In an embodiment the penetrator is composed of steel, hardened steel or tungsten carbide. The bullet projectile body is homogenously composed of copper, gilding metal alloy (copper and zinc), brass, bronze, or similar material.
