Some target ammunition for rifles has a hollowpoint shape to provide increased accuracy, however, the term hollow point is most commonly associated with handgun ammunition.
When used in a defense role, hollow point bullets may expand on impact. This transfers more energy to the target, by expanding produces a proportionately larger wound, and increases the likelihood of stopping an attacker.
