LOL!
Hollow point ammuniton doesn’t explode. The purpose of the hollow point is to absorb material in the center of the round which then pushes the outer wall of the projectile outward, exanding the diameter of the round.
Using hollowpoint ammo doesn’t damage the gun.
DHS does not use “training” rounds. The same rounds used for quaterly qualification are the same rounds used in the field.
There is nothing unusual or nefarious about this ammo purchase. It’s only purpose is to provide ammo for normal quaterly qualification. That is it.
Wrong. Police dept, FBI and everybody else does not use full house ammo for training. It beats you up and wears on your weapon. And its hard on the backstops of your range. If we were talking about a 7.62 X 51 in 168 grain boattail round at 600 meters as a sniper yes you use a full house round. But we are talking about .40 cal which is for a handgun not a rifle. Did you understand what you were reading that this round is a frangible? Plus most of them don’t even qualify quarterly. Only SWAT and special response teams. Most of them are lucky to qualify once year and they are lucky to hit the broad side of a bard if somebody attacks them.
