Abstract
A small arms projectile containing a series of vents or apertures in a geometric arrangement such that the projectile's leading edge is capable of penetrating the target without structural failure and depositing the majority of its residual energy in the target. In addition, the design of the body allows the projectile to be spin stabilized when fired from any suitable weapon.
