Hollow point bullets literally have a hollow point, and ball ammo does not.

What is the phase difference between points e and f?

The phase difference between points e and f is the difference in the position of their respective waveforms at a given point in time.


What is the pressure difference formula and how can it be used to calculate the difference in pressure between two points?

The pressure difference formula is P gh, where P is the pressure difference, is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height difference between the two points. To calculate the pressure difference between two points, you can use this formula by plugging in the values for the density of the fluid, acceleration due to gravity, and the height difference between the two points.


How can one determine the potential difference between two points in a circuit?

To determine the potential difference between two points in a circuit, you can use a voltmeter. Connect the voltmeter across the two points you want to measure and the reading displayed on the voltmeter will indicate the potential difference between those two points.


Why is voltage always measured between two points?

Voltage is always measured between two points because it represents the difference in electric potential between those two points. This difference in potential is what drives the flow of electric current in a circuit.


What is the relationship between voltage and electric potential energy difference?

Voltage is a measure of the electric potential energy difference between two points in an electric field. The greater the voltage, the greater the electric potential energy difference between the two points.

What is the difference between military and civilian ammunitions?

Military ammunition has crimped primer pockets for waterproofing and cannot use anything but ball bullets as specified in the Geneva convention. While civilian ammo has a wide variety of bullets, hollow points, solid lead, etc... and smooth primer pockets.


Are hollow points bullets illegal to carry in your concealed handgun?

Depends on where you are. They are illegal in New Jersey.


Are hollow point bullets use banned in Florida?

Yes, assuming you can legally possess ammo.


How bullet causes injury?

The short answer is, it creates a hole in whatever it hits. Some bullets (hollow points) will generally expand and become jagged and make bigger holes than non-hollow points.


Type of bullet which expands on impact?

Hollow points. And "soft points." Ammo boxes are often marked with abbreviations for those terms, like "JHP" means "jacketed hollow point" or "PSP" might mean "pointed soft-point." Most expanding handgun bullets used for self-defense or law enforcement purposes are hollowpoints. Most rifle bullets made for hunting big game are soft-points. Some hollow-point rifle bullets are actually made for the best possible long-range accuracy and expanding is not really a factor. And many rifle bullets made for small varmints or predators are hollow-pointed too.


Bullet that expands on impact?

Most of them do. As for bullets designed for maximum penetration on impact, hollow point and soft point cartridges are probably what you're referring to. Hollow points are more common for defensive rounds, and soft points are common hunting rounds.

How many different hollow points are there?

Every manufacturer has their own special designs, but generally there are jacketed hollow points and unjacketted hollow points.


Why are hollow point rounds so accurate?

They are not "so accurate". Standard pointed rounds are more accurate. Hollowpoints are used because they flatten on impact and this cause a lot of damage to the victim, but tend not to penetrate walls, etc., thus fewer injuries to bystanders. Edit: What the person wrote above me is incorect. Although hollow points in bullets can be utilized so that "mushrooming" (A bullet expanding in its terminal state) it can also be used for accuracy. A HPBT (Hollow point boat tail) Is a type of bullet. This is known as a spitzer type bullet. It is used in rifles because it changes the location of the center of gravity helping the bullet stay stable in the flight pattern. Backing up my facts:The Geneva Convention BANNED Hollow points from being used because they deemed them inhumane. It stated hollowpoints are made so they expand and cause unessesary suffering. Rifle bullets (HPBT spitzer type) use to counter attack terrorist snipers are the exception to the rule because the hollow point isn't designed to aid in mushrooming, in fact it doesnt even HELP mushrooming that much. The bullets are hollow point to aid in accuracy as noted earlier :D EDIT: Hollow points are NOT banned by the Geneva Conventions. They are banned from warfare by the Hague Convention. The Geneva Conventions do not discuss hollow points. Yes, hollow point bullets can be more accurate than non-hollow points, primarily in rifles, because the hollow moves the center of gravity slightly to the rear. Such bullets are often called Open Tip Match (OTM) to differentiate them.
