Type of bullet which expands on impact?
Hollow points. And "soft points." Ammo boxes are often marked with abbreviations for those terms, like "JHP" means "jacketed hollow point" or "PSP" might mean "pointed soft-point." Most expanding handgun bullets used for self-defense or law enforcement purposes are hollowpoints. Most rifle bullets made for hunting big game are soft-points. Some hollow-point rifle bullets are actually made for the best possible long-range accuracy and expanding is not really a factor. And many rifle bullets made for small varmints or predators are hollow-pointed too.
