To be precise, any type of ammo which by nature of construction causes the
bullet to rip apart or expand when hitting the target. The british forces
started to use those kind of rounds during WW1, which were called "dum-dum"
rounds after a city in india, where these were manufactured. My dad owns a
old german war propaganda leaflat which protests against these bullets.
This AFAIK lead to "FMJ only" for most armed forces worldwide.
