Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a subsonic, expanding and lead-free projectile (10), which comprises a projectile body (20) and a tip part (30), which projectile body (20) of the subsonic, expanding and lead-free projectile (10) is a solid projectile body and made of copper composition, most advantageously extremely pure copper composition, which subsonic projectile tip (30) of the subsonic, expanding and lead-free projectile (10) is made of brass, in which the projectile body (20) has a hollow opening (22) extending around imaginary axis of the projectile body (20), and which hollow opening (22) is cylindrical. The projectile tip (30) is shorter in axial direction than depth of the hollow opening (22), that the projectile body (20) comprises a uniform ring (23) formed at front part of the projectile body (20) and the projectile body (20) comprises axially extending slots (21), which slots (21) extend a distance of 15-20 mm, advantageously about 18 mm, from back edge of the ring (23) in the front part of the projectile body (20) and in between the axially extending slots (21) expanding parts (25) of the projectile body (20) are configured to form.
