Abstract

The present invention relates to a projectile, in particular deformation and/or partial fragmentation bullet, comprising an essentially cylindrical projectile tail, an adjoining bow sided projectile head with an essentially central opening which opens into a cavity that extends axially from the projectile head in the direction of the projectile tail, preferably into the projectile tail, which has a cavity bottom and is bounded by a wall, and an tear-off groove introduced into the wall and, at least partially surroundings the cavity, which is arranged at a distance of at least 10% of the longitudinal extension of the cavity from the cavity bottom and has a radial depth of at least 10% of a caliber diameter and/or of at least 30% of a radial wall thickness of the wall surrounding the cavity.
