Patent ID: 7845281

Claim:
A system for projectile dispersion to improve the hit probability on a target comprising; a gun having a rifled barrel; a projectile having a main body, having a front end, a back end, and a side, positioned within a cartridge case, with a central longitudinal axis along the center of said cartridge case; wherein said projectile is of slightly larger diameter than that of the gun barrel; wherein said projectile is divided into three projectile segments; wherein the majority of said projectile segments that are within said cartridge case are positioned so that the circumference of said projectile coincides with side surfaces of said projectile segments; wherein two of said projectile segments that have centers of mass that are offset from said central longitudinal axis of the cartridge, are positioned side by side in said cartridge case; wherein a standard projectile segment, with the center of mass aligned with said central longitudinal axis of the cartridge is positioned in said cartridge case; wherein there is a means to radially orient said centers of mass of said projectile segments with said centers of mass offset from said central longitudinal axis of the cartridge at specific vectors of orientation prior to firing; whereby each said projectile segment of the plurality of said projectile segments has a predetermined strike point, and a predetermined three projectile segment pattern is created when said two projectile segments with said centers of mass offset from said central longitudinal axis of the cartridge and said standard projectile segment are fired simultaneous by said gun on said target.
