[QUOTE="LeadHead, post: 37206, member: 367"] A story of my invention that had already been invented. I was sitting in Biology today, I finished all my work a week ago. And I want to be a firearms/ballistics engineer, so I was thinking to my self, "I need to think of a badass rifle bullet design". So, I drew up a design that could be shot accurately but yet provide a devastating wound channel or hydrostatic shock. My design was a hollowed out lead lower part of the bullet with a copper jacket. Then the tip was a solid copper tip. Once the tip hits the target, it jams down into the hollowed lower and spreads out. This gives the flatter trajectory and accuracy of a traditional spitzer type pointed bullet, and also the devastating effect of a hollow point-like bullet. I was all excited about my creation and what I drew up so I showed my friend at lunch. He'd never heard of anything like it. Later that day, I was on the internet checking to see if it has been invented. And sure enough, it had. Not exactly like mine though, but enough to knock me down a few notches. This type of bullet is called a Ballistic tip or Plastic tip. Nosler Ballistic tips seem to be the most popular with it.
