More Information
Summary:A bullet including a drag-reducing assembly provided about its main body, and configured for being triggered upon a blast from a cartridge, in order to reduce a resulting base drag of the bullet during flight trajectory. The drag-reducing assembly includes at least one cavity being configured for receiving and containing a portion of gun gas from the cartridge and corresponding blast, and at least one peripheral orifice for releasing gun gas from the at least one cavity during the flight trajectory of the bullet, in order to fill a partial vacuum behind the bullet during flight trajectory, and thus reduce the resulting base drag, for an improved overall ballistic performance of the bullet.
