A fancy way of saying a jacketed round. Jackets are thin layers of metal (usually copper) which coat the actual bullet itself, providing a smoother surface to both streamline the bullet, and reduce the chance of breakage in the barrel or in flight, as lead is a soft metal, and easily deforms.
The top portion of a bullet jacket is called the "ogive." The ogive is the curved part of the bullet that leads to its point, designed to improve aerodynamics and facilitate smoother entry into the target. It plays a crucial role in the bullet's ballistic performance and accuracy.

The shell around a bullet, commonly referred to as the bullet jacket, is typically made of copper or a copper alloy. This metal jacket encases the lead core of the bullet, providing structural integrity, reducing barrel fouling, and improving aerodynamic performance. In some cases, bullets may have jackets made of other materials, such as brass or even polymer, depending on their intended use.
Answer is Kevlar.
No
Yeah, if your superman, bullet proof jacket, or you move like a NINJA!
No. They are a lead bullet with a jacket of copper/ nickel alloy.
The copper jacket is needed to push bullets at very high speeds and to withstand the very high rpms generated by the rifling. A lead bullet would fly apart because it is too soft. The harder copper jacket keeps the bullet in one piece.
