Abstract

A projectile device is disclosed for firing at a target. The projectile device includes a shroud, the shroud having a forward end and a rearward end. The shroud defines a channel which extends through the shroud between the forward end and the rearward end of the shroud. An insert is releasably secured to the shroud such that after the forward end of the shroud strikes the target, the insert is released from the shroud for increasing penetration of the shroud through the target.
