  2. Full metal jacket (ammunition) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_metal_jacket_(ammunition)

    A full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet is a small-arms projectile consisting of a soft core (often lead) encased in an outer shell ("jacket") of harder metal, such as gilding metal, cupronickel, or, less commonly, a steel alloy. A bullet jacket usually allows higher muzzle velocities than bare lead without depositing significant amounts of metal in ...

    .32 ACP full metal jacket, .32 S&W Long wadcutter, .380 ACP jacketed hollow point (L-R). A wadcutter is a special-purpose flat-fronted bullet specifically designed for shooting paper targets, usually at close range and at subsonic velocities typically under approximately 270 metres per second (890 ft/s).

  7. Bullet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet

    A ballistic tip bullet is a hollow-point rifle bullet that has a plastic tip on the end of the bullet. This improves external ballistics by streamlining the bullet, allowing it to cut through the air more easily, and improves terminal ballistics by allowing the bullet to act as a jacketed hollow point. As a side effect, it also feeds better in ...

  8. Soft-point bullet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-point_bullet

    Right: Jacketed hollow point (JHP). JSP is a semi-jacketed round as the jacket does not extend to the tip. The notches on the tip of the JHP assist in the expansion of the bullet on impact with soft tissue. Jacketed flat point (JFP) may describe either soft-point or full metal jacket bullets with a flat, rather than a rounded front.

  9. Total metal jacket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_metal_jacket

    Total metal jacket (TMJ or full metal case) bullets [1] are made by electroplating a thin jacket of ductile metal (usually copper) over a core of different metal requiring protection from abrasion or corrosion. [2] Similar full metal jacket bullets mechanically swage a thin sheet of metal over the core. The swaging process leaves an opening ...
