Ball type bullets are designed for antipersonnel use primarily due to their aerodynamic shape and ability to penetrate targets effectively. They typically have a full metal jacket, which reduces deformation upon impact, allowing for greater penetration and stopping power. This design also minimizes the risk of over-penetration, which can be problematic in urban environments. Additionally, ball ammunition is often more cost-effective to produce, making it widely available for military and law enforcement applications.
