Claim 0:
1. A method for manufacturing a projectile comprising a cylindrical, solid base end section and an ogive section connecting to the base end section as a single piece with a wall for circumferentially enclosing of a cavity and an opening centred at a tip of the ogive section with a maximum diameter of less than 20% of a calibre of the projectile defined by the base end section, the method comprising:
inserting a blank made of a ductile material into a cylindrical die;
inserting a press head formed according to a blade of a slotted screwdriver, wherein the maximum diameter of the blade is greater than the calibre of the projectile, into the die for creating an intermediate of the projectile, the intermediate of the projectile comprising a cylindrical solid base end section, a press end section with a central press recess, and a wall limiting the press recess, which is formed into an ogival shaped tip having an opening at a tip of the ogival shaped tip, wherein the wall is formed with at least two through slots, which limit at least two structurally separated wall sections in a circumferential direction; and
forming the press end section with the at least two structurally separated wall sections separated by the slots into an ogive section.
