(under subclass 578) Subject matter wherein the elongated missile has a target-contacting head portion located at one end thereof and has a fluid-conducting passage formed or located therein or thereon which extends from a location adjacent to the target-contacting head portion to a location adjacent to the tail end portion, which fluid-conducting passage is also in fluid communication with the exterior surface of the missile so that, whenever the missile strikes and penetrates into the interior of a target having fluid contained therein or adapted to have fluid received therein, fluid may be passed between the interior and the exterior of the target.
(1) Note. Projectiles having a fluid-conducting means are usually used to let out blood or air from an animal whenever the projectile strikes and penetrates into the interior of the animal.
