No. Hollow points stay intact and hopefully mushroom, thereby causing greater damage as it goes through the body at a larger diameter.

Frangible bullets are meant to break apart ...

ribit mentioned the Geneva Convention that advocated for full metal jacket rounds. Don't get me wrong, high powered .30 caliber rounds (American .30-06, British .303, German 7.92x57mm Mauser, etc.) did a tremendous amount of damage to the human body, but the hard cased FMJ bullets would go through and through a lot of the time. There are stories about some British soldiers altering their .303 rounds by hollowing out the tip and filling it with wood shards.

do Jacketed Hollow Point ammo work along the same way you just described the frangible class?

Thanks. Thumbs Up
