A full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet is a small-arms projectile consisting of a soft core (often lead) encased in an outer shell ("jacket") of harder metal, such as gilding metal, cupronickel, or, less commonly, a steel alloy. A bullet jacket usually allows higher muzzle velocities than bare lead without depositing significant amounts of metal in ...
The new full metal jacket bullets tended to penetrate straight through a target causing less internal damage than a bullet that expands and stops in its target. This led to the development of the soft-point bullet and later jacketed hollow-point bullets at the British arsenal in Dum Dum, near Calcutta around 1890.
The British replaced the hollow-point bullets with new full metal jacket bullets and used the remaining stocks of expanding bullets for practice. [ 25 ] During the Hague Convention of 1899 , the majority of the delegates moved to prohibit future usage of expanding bullets, which was opposed by the American and British delegations.

The 7.62×54mmR originally had a 13.7 g (210 grain) "jager" round-nosed full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet. The projectile was replaced in 1908 by the 9.61-gram (148.3 gr) Лёгкая Пуля ( Lyogkaya pulya , "light bullet") spitzer bullet , whose basic design has remained to the present.
Right: Jacketed hollow point (JHP). JSP is a semi-jacketed round as the jacket does not extend to the tip. The notches on the tip of the JHP assist in the expansion of the bullet on impact with soft tissue. Jacketed flat point (JFP) may describe either soft-point or full metal jacket bullets with a flat, rather than a rounded front.
The jacket may ricochet, but should have reduced range without the weight of the frangible core. [5] Frangible hollow-point bullets may penetrate clothing, drywall, and light sheet metal; but often disintegrate upon striking glass. [6] Hard targets may be damaged by frangible bullets. Extent of damage increases with velocity of bullet impact.
