The projectile of the present invention combines the advantages of both the solid and hollow point designs, featuring the initial ballistics of a solid projectile and the terminal (target) ballistic effects of a hollow-point projectile, without the risk of collecting undesired foreign matter into the cavity in the unfired configuration and also eliminating the possible feeding problems from the magazine to the barrel chamber by a simple manufacturing process. A plunger (4) is initially positioned in the expansion chamber (2) of a projectile. Upon sinking into the projectile body (1) no part of the plunger head (5) touches the internal surface of the expansion chamber (2) except for the bottom of such chamber (2) so that the plunger (4) has no active role in the expansion of the projectile upon impact.
