Domestic LEOs use ammo other than ball?
If I recall, almost all the ammo purchased was .40 S&W pistol ammo. Good for police work & self defense, but not good for combat.
I can’t figure what they would need so much for. You would think if they were planning for an insurrection they would be buying rifle ammunition.
Yes they use hollow points. DHS uses Federal 180g .40 S&W.
Absolutely. Domestic LEOs use JHP to avoid having rounds pass through the intended target to one beyond. Black Talon was made LEO only after a big stink in the press. Ball FMJ is for paper punching. JHP for actual live targets. JHP also handles better indoors. It won’t end up in the next door neighbor’s house. Frangible is good that way as well.
