I think you're asking about hollow point bullets. ? they have a hollow tip (duh) that when they hit something the tip explodes through the target, and the shrapnel causing massive amounts of damage while the bullet does not penetrating as deep.

good luck

Nope. The term is FRANGIBLE bullet. They are constructed of material that causes them to break apart when striking a hard surface- but they are not hollowpoints. Materials have included powdered iron, pressed into a mold, or bakelite type plastics. Not too common, they were created for special uses, such as training aerial gunners. When they hit a hard surface, they break into dust- so no flying off at angles.
