[QUOTE="poopgiggle, post: 739335, member: 6406"] Stop perpetuating this myth. The switch to jacketed bullets happened when armies switched from black powder to smokeless powder; the hotter powder and higher velocities made lead bullets foul the barrel too much, hence the metal jacket. Hollow point bullets were banned by the Hague Convention because armies noticed the inferior terminal performance of FMJ and the various tricks that they tried to make them more effective (dum-dum bullets, etc) caused some moral panic. Notice how many military bullets are designed to yaw on impact to get around this prohibition. [/QUOTE]
