-AMMO TYPES-
8mm Ball-
Standard lead ammo. Nothing more to it. It can pierce Kevlar police vests, and effects soft and hard targets equally.
FMJ Bullets-
Lead bullets encased with a copper-zinc alloy. Better at piercing armor than ball, but worse against soft targets.
Armor Piercing-
U-238 bullets with a tungsten tip. Excellent at piercing armor, but horrible against soft targets.
Soft Point-
FMJ bullets with a exposed soft point, designed to flatten inside the target. Good against soft targets, but bad against armor.
Hollow Point-
Ball bullets with a hollow point, flattening and fracturing more than a soft point. Awesome against soft targets, but can barely scratch armored targets.
