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. 

I can't believe it!
