Abstract

Improved small arms projectile and small arms ammunition round containing such a projectile. Characteristically, the projectile is a hollow core projectile that takes the form of a tubular main body (20) with a tapered nose section (19) and a central core (17). In a low muzzle velocity mode of projectile, the hollow core (17) may be a cylinder. In a high muzzle velocity projectile, the nose portion (34) of the core is tapered, the outlet portion (41) is tapered and the ratio of the cross-section area of the throat (38) inside the main body of the projectile to the nose inlet (40) cross-section area is at least 0.5 to 1. The terminus (32) of the projectile is boat-tailed. The ammunition round includes a cartridge case (9), a primer (14), a propellant charge (15), and the hollow core projectile (10) (30) and, in addition, an abturator (12) and a pusher (11) interposed between the projectile (10) (30) and propellant (15).
