What does it sound like? Just kidding! Well, a hollow point is a bullet that is hollowed out in the tip.. When hit, it expands and causes A LOT OF DAMAGE!
Heres a link to shooting a "BAD" pumpkin-

I know! I would much rather use one of my .45's with hollow points!  :D

Regular FMJ ball ammo would penetrate the wall better.

Yep, and also probably probably not screw up the sheetrock as bad.

How come the 2 of us from the Ozarks seem to know the most about this?  :D

Hollow points aren't designed for penetration.  They are designed to go into a target and dispel all of their force inside it, tearing the target up inside and not continuing on into a bus load of nuns driving along behind the target.

Just recently, I needed a 3/8" hole in a wall plate for cable and instead of setting up my drill and bit I used the Farmer and the deed was done in short order.

You could just do like this idiot did, and shoot a hole in the wall for the cable:

On the other hand, maybe you shouldn't.  You might kill someone like he did.


The mind boggles that a guy would do that intentionally.

Although it humiliates me to admit to it, years ago I did something similar with a .44 Special revolver with plain old Round Nose Lead ammo.

The slug went through an exterior wall, then an interior wall, then a cabinet full of glassware, then across a room, before imbedding itself deep into the leg of a walnut dining room table.  Gave me a greater respect for the good old .44 Special cartridge.

An AD like that could ruin your whole day.  ;>
