Ammo Types: Separating Exposed Core Bullet

Program used: Rhinoceros 4 w/V-ray for Rhino

Classification: Standard Duel Purpose Round

The Separating Exposed Core (SEC) round is a duel purpose round used for both soft and hard targets. When striking soft tissue the tip of the main body collapses and mushrooms out expanding to increase the effective caliber. The copper jacket is split and perforated to allow easy expansion but on top of that the primary petals break off creating a fragmentation effect adding to the trauma.

When striking a hard target the same thing happens but the object stops the main body of the round making it ineffective. To remedy this the bullet body is striped away from the hardened steel core and that is allowed to penetrate the armor continuing through the target.

The shell casing is made out of Nano-polymer 239 that is colored medium grey with added white and black stripes, this plastic is much lighter than brass and other metals that were previously used for casings and it is incredibly strong easily taking on high pressure loads.
