A new monolithic bullet has arrived in Germany, an interesting two part construction (threaded?) concept.

I just had a thought, depending on if the copper tip is threaded into the brass body either a lh or rh twist could with the acceleration centrifugal forces unscrew the tip.

My translation of the intro. :- Here I would like to introduce a new hunting bullet where I was able to test some prototypes. The bullet guide is brass; the bullet tip is made of copper. Brass has excellent guidance properties, but is less suitable than copper as a material for deformation/fragmentation; brass is more prone to fragmentation and uncontrolled splintering. Copper, however, is optimal as a bullet material for deformation/fragmentation; however, it is more prone to problems as a bullet guide, particularly with barrel fouling/deposits. Alternative copper bullets often have the problem of precision: they are often manufactured using a simple press-upsetting process; the concentricity is then often suboptimal, which then results in a loss of precision. Brass is much better suited for this purpose and is easier and more precise to manufacture, making it more cost-effective. Attempts to combine these two materials are not without problems; a molecular bond (welding) is not possible; bonding with questionable chemicals, which are often even more toxic than lead, is not optimally feasible.
Here, the manufacturer has achieved a pure, mechanical connection between the hollow point bullet tip and the brass bullet tail, which requires no chemicals other than contact adhesive.

I get the idea but I can't see this being a cost effective round at all therefore no one is going to want to buy it making the round unnecessary and well pointless
 
Unnecessarily complex, I would say. It'll do nothing a copper bullet won't, but with the additional cost and complexity of manufacturing and assembly tolerances and overheads 🤔
 
A good salesman have them on the ammo shelf, says to a prospective buyer you ought to try these they are the dogs.

BC.
A gokd salesman only says "they are the dogs" if they actually are. Otherwise, he's burning his credibility with the customer over a low value sale. Doesn't seem necessarily great salesmanship.
 
If they are threaded together and you use the wrong twist, might they unthread themselves before hitting the target?
Most modern barrels are RH twist, so with a RH thread that won't be an issue as the reaction torque will tighten the thread 👍

Threaded together? does it not say they use contact adhesive?
Cheers, Ken.
