Claim Text:
1. A penetrable projectile structured to be discharged from a firearm, said penetrable projectile being formed with an exterior surface having a circular cross sectional configuration and a central longitudinal axis, said penetrable projectile having a plurality of axial cuts extending along the entire length of said penetrable projectile from the central longitudinal axis of said penetrable projectile to the exterior surface dividing said penetrable projectile into a plurality of similarly configured sections, penetrable individual longitudinal body sections, said penetrable projectile thereby being radially sectioned and longitudinally sectioned lengthwise along its entire longitudinal length by being divided by at least one plane in a tip-to-rear/front-to-back direction of said penetrable projectile, said penetrable projectile comprising at least two penetrable individual longitudinal body sections, said at least two penetrable individual longitudinal body sections being of identical size and shape, said at least two penetrable individual longitudinal body sections each having at least one width approximately equal to a cross sectional radius of said penetrable projectile when assembled, said penetrable projectile further comprising at least one central/interior, non-peripheral cavity that contains an at least one supplemental payload, said at least one supplemental payload comprising an at least one reactive chemical substance or explosive material not involved in the firing or propulsion of said projectile to a predetermined target, said penetrable projectile further comprising at least two exterior binding elements, including at the tip and at the rear of said penetrable projectile, that hold said at least two penetrable individual longitudinal body sections together at least before impact with said predetermined target, said at least two penetrable individual longitudinal body sections separating away from each other inside of said predetermined target and delivering said at least one supplemental payload to/within said predetermined target and causing further damage inside of said predetermined target in addition to damage caused by said longitudinal body sections.
