hollow point too ? geeez

dunno what that means :confused:

bullet shatters on impact, causing more trauma and harder to get out.

It doesn't shatter, it mushrooms/pancakes. When it does, it increases it's size (up to double). This makes a larger wound channel and exit wound.

plus, it transfers more of its energy to the victim. If it didn't deform, it could pass straight through, less likely to cause death.

Well, yeah. That's implied when the surface area expands. :p

I used to be a copy machine repair guy. Thankfully nothing like that ever happened to me. With my luck I would have needed parts and she would have shot me! :Q
