A projectile delivery apparatus for enhancing the penetration capability of a projectile including a friable capsule, which traverses the distance from a firearm to a preselected target while retaining the launch weight of the projectile intact, and a projectile, which is mounted internally of the friable capsule and is released from the capsule to achieve increased penetration of the target.

A projectile apparatus which enhances the penetration characteristics of a projectile, the apparatus propelled from a firearm at a preselected target, comprising: a centrally disposed projectile having a predetermined launch weight and a plurality of smaller projectiles surrounding said centrally disposed projectile; a friable capsule having a longitudinal axis and an internal chamber, the internal chamber disposed in substantial coaxial alignment with the longitudinal axis and receiving the projectiles to be delivered secured internally of the chamber in a predetermined pattern, the friable capsule enclosing the projectiles for traversing the distance from the firearm to the target and retaining the launch weight of the projectiles intact; and an epoxy filler material mounting the plurality of projectiles in a fixed position in the internal chamber and further controlling the dispersion pattern and the depth of penetration of the smaller projectiles when the friable capsule releases the projectiles upon impact with the target, and wherein impact of the friable capsule with the target generates heat, and wherein the friable capsule and the filler material become rapidly pliable upon exposure to the heat generated by said impact whereby the pliable capsule and filler material preserve the heat energy localized at the point of impact while releasing the projectiles from the capsule to achieve enhanced penetration of the target by passing the projectiles through the weakened point of impact of the target.
