Bullet
Pistol bullets have some of the same names as rifle bullets, such as full metal jacket (FMJ) or jacketed hollow point (JHP).  For example, there are hollow point pistol bullets that also spread out a lot when they hit a target. However, in a pistol bullet, the hollow point can be much larger.  The hollow point causes the pistol bullet to slow down faster due to air resistance.  However, a pistol bullet does not have to travel as far as a rifle bullet.  The hollow point in a pistol bullet can be almost as wide as the bullet. When a hollow point pistol bullet hits a target, it almost completely flattens itself.  A solid copper pistol bullet is usually hollow point, and is mainly used for self-defense and/or target shooting.
