Bullet with separable elements
Abstract
Disclosed is a bullet with separable elements or projectiles which upon impact with an animal or human target, this bullet, having a high kinetic energy and under the influence of inertia, divides into 2-6 elements. The respective linear velocities of the elements are influenced by the variations in size and shape of the elements. When the bullet hits the target, the change in momentum is sufficient to break the individual or combination of internal or external connectors such as the Kevlar belts or internal rod connectors. Based on the differences in linear velocities, shapes and/or sizes the side elements proceed to varying depths within the target causing greater damage compared to a single trajectory bullet.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A bullet comprising:
two or more projectiles interconnected to maintain shape and aerodynamics until impact; wherein the two or more projectiles are interconnected with one or more internal or external interconnections; wherein internal interconnections include a rod attachment system; and wherein external interconnections include a string and glue connection system.
2 . The bullet of the claim 1 , wherein the external interconnection string is secured via string grooves created on the external surface of the projectiles.
3 . The bullet of claim 2 , wherein the external string is secured using a glue formulated to withstand high temperatures.
4 . The bullet of claim 3 ,wherein the string comprises Kevlar type material strands which are placed within external string grooves and secured using a specially formulated glue or lacquer.
5 . The bullet of claim 1 wherein the projectiles are of separate sizes and shapes to further enhance variations and projectile trajectories.
6 . The bullet of claim 5 wherein the projectiles have internal grooves and interfaces are designed to allow projectiles to secure to one another before impact and to enhance the abilities of the projectiles to travel to different trajectories once impact occurs.
7 . The bullet of claim 1 , wherein two projectiles are interconnected with an internal connector rod.
8 . The bullet of claim 1 , wherein two projectiles are interconnected with an external interconnection.
9 . The bullet of claim 1 , wherein two projectiles are interconnected with an internal connector rod and an external interconnection.
10 . The bullet of claim 1 , wherein five projectiles are interconnected with one or more external interconnections.
11 . The bullet of claim 1 , wherein five projectiles are interconnected with one internal connector rod and one external interconnection.
12 . The bullet of claim 8 , wherein the projectiles are of separate sizes and shapes to further enhance variations and projectile trajectories.
13 . The bullet of claim 12 , wherein the projectiles have internal grooves and interfaces are designed to allow projectiles to secure to one another before impact and to enhance the abilities of the projectiles to travel to different trajectories once impact occurs.
14 . The bullet of claim 9 , wherein the projectiles are of separate sizes and shapes to further enhance variations and projectile trajectories.
15 . The bullet of claim 14 , wherein the projectiles have internal grooves and interfaces are designed to allow projectiles to secure to one another before impact and to enhance the abilities of the projectiles to travel to different trajectories once impact occurs.
16 . The bullet of claim 10 , wherein the projectiles are of separate sizes and shapes to further enhance variations and projectile trajectories.
17 . The bullet of claim 16 , wherein the projectiles have internal grooves and interfaces are designed to allow projectiles to secure to one another before impact and to enhance the abilities of the projectiles to travel to different trajectories once impact occurs.
18 . The bullet of claim 11 , wherein the projectiles are of separate sizes and shapes to further enhance variations and projectile trajectories.
19 . The bullet of claim 18 , wherein the projectiles have internal grooves and interfaces are designed to allow projectiles to secure to one another before impact and to enhance the abilities of the projectiles to travel to different trajectories once impact occurs.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
