[origin: WO9840675A1] A projectile (18) for use in ammunition for a small-bore weapon which is operated in the semi-automatic or automatic mode and which is fired subsonically and without generating of audible sound during free flight of the projectile through air. The projectile, in one embodiment, comprises a tungsten/lead powder-based core (14) having a light metal plate (20) applied to the exterior surface thereof. A round of ammunition (24) incorporating the projectile (18) is disclosed which produces subsonic velocity of the projectile during flight and sufficient energy to consistently operate the bolt mechanism of the weapon. A method for the manufacture of the projectile is disclosed.
