Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9400730A1] Small arms projectile (1), intended primarily for use with rifle bores, produced from steel with a low carbon (C) content and preferably including tellurium (Te) to an amount of 0.02-0.04 % and lead (Pb) to an amount of 0.15-0.35 %, acting in combination to provide to the steel a high cutting capacity and a lubricant effect that is utilized to reduce the friction wear occurring as the projectile passes the bore. The projectile (1) comprises circumferentially applied grooves and lands (4) and in a specific embodiment a slanted shoulder (5) in the intermediate section between the torpedo section (2) and guide section (3), whereby a circular through hole with unrippled edges is punched through the target upon target shooting. The bullet comprises an anticorrosive coating, preferably electro-chemically applied.
