5/6 Does any part of a hollow point bullet liquify during its flight?
\_ No.
\_ so how does it end up looking like this?

I just got this off of images.google, and there are lots like it.
That sure looks to me like it's melted. Are you saying the
solid just deforms in flight?
\_ Lead is very, very soft. The reason for using a hollow
point bullet is because it expands when it hits flesh, making
a much larger wound cavity than the initial caliber of the
bullet.
\_ it didnt' take that shape in flight, but rather upon impact. |
