Expanding bullets, also known colloquially as dumdum bullets, are projectiles designed to expand on impact. This causes the bullet to increase in diameter, to combat over-penetration and produce a larger wound, thus dealing more damage to a living target.
Prohibited bullets are perceived as causing large wounds only because they tend to expand so depositing their kinetic energy earlier in the wound track than full metal jacket bullets (see Annex). Full metal jacket bullets remain stable in their passage through tissue for a variable distance before
The answer lies, we argue, in the fact that the invention of smokeless gunpowder (in the late 1880s) allowed for the development of full-metal-jacket ammunition like the Mark II, a bullet which did not expand on contact with human skin.

The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 outlawed projectiles of these types but, by 1914, advances in ammunition design had made defining them a very subjective process. Table of Contents.
The expanding full metal jacket, or EFMJ, bullet is pretty unique. It was designed to offer shooters of all types an alternative to hollow points, with a nice blend of stopping power combined with little to no over-penetration. This makes the EFMJ the perfect choice for concealed carry and home defense ammo, because the odds of causing unwanted ...
A full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet is a small-arms projectile consisting of a soft core (often lead) encased in an outer shell ("jacket") of harder metal, such as gilding metal, cupronickel, or, less commonly, a steel alloy.
