hollow points
Mushrooming defensive rounds
Hollow points are bullets with a cavity in the tip that causes them to expand on impact, creating a larger wound channel.
They're standard for self-defense and law enforcement because the expansion reduces the risk of bullets passing through targets and hitting bystanders.
The officer's sidearm was loaded with hollow points.
Hunters use them to ensure quick, humane kills.
