| Are those the extra-deadly variety colloquially known as "cop-killers?" |

| Right, hollow-point bullets are specifically designed to cause the maximum amount of tissue damage on impact. In the "good old days" they were called dum-dums. |

Yep.. on entrance they make a small 9mm hole. On exit (if they exit) they make a foot-wide crater.
Evokes bad memories... yuck. |

While you guys are correct, I believe he is speaking of the ones designed to penetrate and pass completely throught bullet proof vests, hence the name "Cop Killers"... These are not those... ;)

You're right, cop-killers are the ones design to penetrate Kevlar or other armor -- my mistaken reference. I guess these could still be called dum-dums -- I think those were essentially the same design.
Anyway, the exposure and focus on the bullets looks good. I'm not sure I'd want to juxtapose these two interpretations of "shooting" -- but that's a personal decision; given that you want to show a camera in place of a gun, this was done pretty effectively. |

Nope...not cop killers...
My father used to have four armour piercing .357 rounds. I believe (but we're going back 20 yrs) that they were teflon coated. I could be mistaken.
A lot of armour piercing rounds have non-metal tips. |

| BTW: The preferred technique is to put the image in your portfolio, and then post only the thumbnail in the forum -- it is automatically linked to the full-sized image for you. Just use the rightmost button in the compose post window, and insert the image's ID number (number only) found at the end of the image's url. |
