A hollow-point bullet is a type of expanding bullet which expands on impact with a soft target, transferring more or all of the projectile's energy into the target over a shorter distance. Hollow-point bullets are used for controlled penetration, where overpenetration could cause collateral damage (such as aboard an aircraft).
The 45 Raptor (11.5x46mm) is a rimless centerfire cartridge developed for the AR-10 semi-automatic rifle for medium and large game hunting. Compared to similar big bore cartridges designed for the AR-15 – such as the .450 Bushmaster, .458 SOCOM, and .50 Beowulf – the 45 Raptor offers higher velocity bullets, a flatter shooting trajectory and the ability to reliably feed hollow point ...

The Hydra-Shok bullet features a hollow-point construction which contains a distinctive central post in the base of the hollow. This design makes such bullets easily identifiable in autopsy examinations of gunshot victims. [2] The manufacturer stated that the scored jacket and center post design provide a "programmed" expansion. There has been ...
The two typical designs are the hollow-point bullet and the soft-point bullet. Dummy: A round of ammunition that is completely inert, i.e., contains no primer, propellant, or explosive charge. It is used to check weapon function, and for crew training. [11] Unlike a blank, it contains no charge at all.
A plastic-tipped bullet is a type of hollow-point bullet tipped with a nose cone made of synthetic polymer to give it a pointed spitzer-like shape. The plastic tip drives into the hollow point upon impact, causing the bullet to expand, which increases lethality.
This bullet makes huge, but shallower wound channels than the other versions. Accurate and effective for defence and medium game hunting up to 100 lb (45 kg) at 100 yd (91 m). F5: All copper, monolithic nose discarding hollow point. The nose is designed to break off on impact, leaving a jagged 7 mm (0.28 in) meplat to create a large deep ...
