has gloss | eng: Ballistic tip ammunition is a form of plastic tipped bullet, meant to confer the advantages of both Spitzer point bullet and hollow point (JHP) variant ammunition. They consist of a fairly normal hollow-point bullet, with the frontal cavity filled in by hard plastic, which is molded into a streamlined shape mimicking the shape of a Spitzer bullet. Upon impact, the plastic drives into the hollow point, or fragments into small pieces and the bullet performs like a regular hollow-point, expanding ("mushrooming") to a larger diameter or fragmenting. The end result is a bullet with the streamlined characteristics of Spitzer bullet and the increased terminal mushrooming of JHPs. These bullets possess the aerodynamics for longer, more accurate flights, and the in-target performance to ensure high lethality. |
