A projectile structured to be discharged from a firearm comprising a body
including a nose portion and a tail portion separable from one another
when the projectile strikes a target. The body further includes an
interface disposed intermediate opposite ends of the body of the
projectile and structured to removably interconnect the nose and tail
portions. Separation of the nose and tail portions such as when striking
a soft tissue or like material target is caused by the tumbling of the
projectile and the cooperative structuring of the interface to facilitate
separation of the nose and tail portions. Further, the interface is
disposed, dimensioned and structured to define the primary area of
contact of the projectile body with the rifling or interior surface of
the barrel of the firearm. At least one additional embodiment of the
projectile comprises one of the nose or tail portions, preferably the
tail portion structured to contain a supplemental payload which is
carried to the target upon discharge of the firearm.
