A hollow point bullet travels how fast?
The speed of a hollow point bullet can vary depending on the caliber and type of firearm it is fired from. On average, handgun bullets can travel at speeds ranging from 800 feet per second (fps) to 1500 fps, while rifle bullets can reach speeds of up to 4000 fps or more.
Can a hollow point bullet penetrate a bullet proof vest?
This depends on the particular caliber, weight, velocity, and construction of the bullet and the "Threat Level" of the body armor. No vest is bullet proof -- the preferred term is body armor.Generally speaking hollow points are much lesslikely to penetrate body armor which will stop non-hollowpoints bullets of the same caliber, weight, and velocity.
What makes a bullet a hollow point?
Instead of a pointed tip, the tip of the bullet is a somewhat cone shaped hollow.
Are 22 caliber hollow point bullets unlegal?
No, they are not.
Are 22 caliber hollow point bullets unlegal in Nev?
No
Bullet has a lead core enclosed in a jacket and an open cavity at the tip?
Jacketed hollow point.
Is a 22 hollow point bullet magnetic?

Will a Smith and Wesson 1911 take hollow point bullets?

What the difference between a hollow point and a regular point bullet?
Hollow Point bullets have a hollow nose or an hole in the nose of the bullet. This causes the bullet to mushroom into a larger diameter when it hits something. A regular bullet is conical or blunt nose in shape. Some can be pure lead or can be jacketed with a bronze or copper coating.

"Less lethal" is a very subjective term, however, a hollow point bullet is generally considered to be more effective in regards to stopping an adversary than a round nosed bullet.
How do hollow-point bullets work?
The hollow in the tip of the bullet allows soft tissue to enter into the bullet causing rapid expantion.The hole in the center of the bullet allows for the bullet to expand to a wider diameter upon impact. Thusfore causing greater damage to the targetA hollow point has a pit or hollowed out shape in its tip, generally intended to cause the bullet to expand upon entering a target in order to decrease penetration and disrupt more tissue as it travels through the target. They are also used to control penetration, such as in situations where over penetration could cause collateral damage (such as on an airplane). Jacketed hollow points (JHPs) or plated hollow points are covered in a coating of harder metal to increase bullet strength and to prevent fouling the barrel with lead stripped from the bullet. The term hollow-cavity bullet is used to describe a hollow point where the hollow is unusually large, sometimes dominating the volume of the bullet, and causes extreme expansion or fragmentation on impact.
