Zusammenfassung:A penetrating member for a projectile comprising a cylindrical mass body made from a high-density material and formed with a hardened front end in the form of a concavely curved scoop with an outstanding spike in its center. One end of a tubular liner abuts the scoop, the liner being made of an easily deformable, material. When the liner hits a target, the liner is forced back along the curve of the scoop and out the center of its tubular form as a high-velocity, target-penetrating jet of material.
