A projectile is provided, in accordance with the present invention that includes
a gas seal, a wad absorption zone, a core hull, a mass of projectile core particles
within the hull and an actuator member. The hull is a cylindrical member having
an open end and made from a material, such as soft plastic, that is characterized
by the ability to peel back upon itself on impact, thereby releasing the mass of
core particles after impact. The actuator, is releasably fixed to the hull open
end, has an exterior side and an interior side and one or more stem members projecting
into the mass of core particles. Upon impact, the actuator is released from the
hull open end and continues to be propelled forward, along with the core particles.
When the projectile impacts a target, the hull peels backward upon itself thereby
releasing the actuator and the mass of projectile core particles.
