Abstract
The disclosure relates to a hybridized fragmenting projectile having slots with divergent surfaces that intersect at a joint having a curved proximal portion. The projectile fragments effectively upon impact with a target after being fired from a firearm at either subsonic or supersonic speed, regardless of environmental conditions or whether the firearm user adjusts the firearm to change between supersonic operation and subsonic operation.
