Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1394498A2] An expansion bullet comprises a hollow housing (11) having an open tip (12) and containing a sliding element (13) designed to slide backward upon an impact against a target. The sliding element (13) comprises a tip portion (14) appearing at an opening (12) on the housing tip and an axial rear shank (16) that is received in a corresponding hole (17) at the rear bottom of the housing to be slidably guided in said backward stroke. The housing (11) is such made as to open flowerwise under the thrust of material from the target entering the housing tip simultaneously with a back movement of said sliding element (13). <IMAGE>
