1. A projectile, comprising a substantially cylindrical projectile tail, a forwardly disposed projectile head with a substantially central opening which opens into a cavity that extends axially from the projectile head in the direction of the projectile tail, which has a cavity bottom and is bounded by a wall, and an tear-off groove introduced into the wall and at least partially surrounding the cavity, which is arranged at a distance of at least 10% of a longitudinal extension of the cavity from the cavity bottom and has a radial depth of at least 10% of a caliber diameter of the projectile and/or of at least 30% of a radial wall thickness of the wall surrounding the cavity.
