A non-toxic highly frangible training round bullet, and a method of making same, in which a plurality of segments of non-toxic metal selected from a group including zinc, iron, steel and copper are grouped or arranged within pressure-molding equipment and sufficient pressure is applied thereto to cause such segments to inter-engage and cohere, one to another, while being formed into a desired shape of bullet and retaining their individuality at least to a limited extent. Upon impact with a target, such a bullet fragments to a large extent along at least some of the original physical boundary lines of the original segments into new segments which are relatively small as compared to the size of the original segments. There is no substantial ricocheting or “bounce-back”activity associated with such fragmentation and, of course, there are no toxic effects.

In a non-toxic highly frangible training round bullet for use as a training round in training exercises for law enforcement personnel comprising: a. slug member made of mainly zinc; b. said member having a cylindrically shaped rear portion and an inwardly tapering forward nose portion; and c. said member being comprised of a plurality of elongated segments of said zinc, said segments having had original physical boundaries and having been swaged into said shapes with sufficient pressure to retain their individuality at least to a limited extent, and having been twisted about each other prior to being so swaged, whereupon said member, upon being fired and striking a target, will disintegrate along at least some of the original physical boundaries of said segments, and said segments will separate into distinct fragments smaller than the original size of said segments.
