Explosive ammo.
Explosive means the projectile, Explodes, on impact. Those, ‘Exploding’, on impact rounds, are regulated. (Ya won’t find them at mart-mart)
There are/is, ammo. Where a Hollow Point projectile, ‘Expands very rapidly’. Depending on the design, of the hollow point. And some manufactures, fill the H.P. cavity with a powder, (Many kinds), and it compresses when hit, then as velocity falls, (in the target), it returns to it’s normal size, very rapidly. giving the illusion that it is, ‘exploding’.
If someone made, true, ‘exploding rounds’, they would not be selling them to you, unless you had a, ‘class 3’, (think fully auto firearms). (Or they will get ‘free’, lodging, for 10+ years, at a government facility)
Their are very, fragile bullets, that break apart, at the slightest resistance, (inside the target). The most famous one was the, ‘Glaser Safety Slug’. Which was a fragile, covering, with a gel and # 12 size pellets inside, which would NOT, penetrate sheet rock, but in a soft target all it energy would be dumped.
The term, ‘Explosive’, is a marketing ploy. Yes, they do, make a, (what looks like), a explosion. But it is not.
The sad part is, the, Anti-Gunners out their, will pick up on the term, ‘EXPLOSIVE’. And say: “See, See, See, I Told you So” !!!!
You want, something to, ‘explode’, Get, exploding targets, or get some, ’Tannerite’. Don’t know of ANY, indoor range that will allow that, and Most, ‘Club’, outdoor ranges forbid it.
