Re: U.S. Government orders hollow-point bullets for its agencies

First of all, the Federal Government doesn't give a fig about expensive.
Secondly, for military purposes you want a bullet that wounds, not kills, your enemy because it will take two of his buddies to carry him off the battlefield. Whereas when a law officer has to fire his weapon the objective is to "put down" the offender before they fire there own weapon and hollow points are very good at that.
