There is a bullet design/type for any application of firearms you can think of. Just as tools were developed for specific purposes, so did bullet design evolve over the years.

Here's a few....

1. Wadcutter

2. Sem-wadcutter

3. Round nose

4. Jacketed round nose

5. Flat point

6. Semi-jacketed flat point

7. Jacketed flat point

8. Hollow point

9. Jacketed hollow point

10. Semi-jacketed hollow point

11. Spire point

12. Frangible

13. Boat-tail

The list goes on, I just popped in 13 off the top of my head, there are others out there, specialty rounds such as the Hydro-shok. Without a more specific question, that's the best I can do for you.

Good listing. There are also tracer, armor piercing, incendiary, and plastic training bullets.
