  7. Round Nose Shape Bullet • the nose is round • Penetrate deeply SHOW ALL HIDE ALL

  8. Semi-wadcutter Shape Bullet • designed to cut a clean hole • bullet’s longer extension allows for quick reloading • Low to medium powder charge, so when fired, produces a mild recoil • normally used in target competition or for practice because is low velocity • expends most of its velocity going through a hollow core door or interior drywall. SHOW ALL HIDE ALL

  9. Hollow Point Shape Bullet • lead or copper-jacketed lead with a hollow cavity in the bullet’s nose; • bullet expands upon impact, it expends its kinetic energy. • expands quickly, it does not penetrate as deeply as a round-nose bullet • design reduces ricochet • usually of high velocity, it delivers maximum shock upon striking a surface of soft tissue • if fired at drywall or a wood door, the hollow cavity fills with the material and does not expand • is a round-nose bullet with extreme penetration. SHOW ALL HIDE ALL

  10. Wadcutter Shape Bullet • level with the top of the casing • has a sharp shoulder to cut a clean round hole in the target • powder load is minimum or moderate • used mainly in practice or competition • usually a low velocity bullet • expends most of its velocity going through a hollow core door or interior drywall SHOW ALL HIDE ALL
