WHAT ARE TWO TYPES OF RIFLE BULLETS?

Two common types of rifle bullets are:

1. Full Metal Jacket (FMJ)

   • The lead core is fully covered by a harder metal (usually copper).

   • Commonly used for target practice and military applications because it penetrates well and is cost-effective.

2. Hollow Point (HP)

   • Has a hollowed tip that expands on impact.

   • Often used for hunting or self-defense because it causes more controlled expansion and reduces over-penetration.
