| - Non-bonded designs are prone to fragmentation after penetration.
- A jacketed hollow point bullet, also known as JHP, is designed to cause severe damage by expanding on impact with its target, while minimizing the distance it penetrates. They were designed in an attempt to reduce collateral damage, as their penetration is impaired by the function of the hollow cavity. The bullet's nose, rather than being pointed, is recessed, or hollowed out, hence the term hollow point. The lead cores in jacketed hollow point ammunition is coated with a harder metal known as the "Jacket" or "Plate".

The bullet's nose, rather than being pointed, is recessed, or hollowed out, hence the term hollow point. The lead cores in jacketed hollow point ammunition is coated with a harder metal known as the "Jacket" or "Plate". This is to increase bullet strength and in an effort to protect the barrel of the gun from lead residue, cast-off, and striping. When a JHP bullet strikes tissue, or any other surface, the lead around the hollow cavity is forced outward, causing the bullet to "mushroom" and fragment, increasing its diameter and resulting in a larger and wider wound channel. However, the hollow cavity makes for very poor penetration, as the hollow cavity will cause the bullet to flatten prematurely upon hitting a hardened target, causing minimal penetration.
