hollow point too ? geeez
dunno what that means
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.
