Description
A firearms instructor friend I printed some of Johnny No. 5's cut away ammo models for asked if I could design a variant representing the Action 4 projectile currently in use with the German police forces. So I fired up Fusion 360 and cobbled something together, based on the few reference pictures of the internal design I could find. The model is not 100% perfect, but it follows the general design of a solid brass projectile with a cavity and a ball shaped ballistic tip that gets pushed into the cavity upon impact, mushrooming out the tip of the projectile to about 10-11mm, increasing energy transfer into the target, but retaining 100% of the mass without fragmentation.
The projectile and ballistic tip are new designs. The powder is a modified variant I already published as part of an earlier remix (works also with the original powder, if you prefer that one). The rest is sourced directly from the original model by Johnny No. 5. If you already have some printed 9mm casings from the original design, the new projectile should fit right in.
