What bullet type do you use?

Just a quick pole to see..

FMJ = Full Metal Jacket - an all-around balanced choice

AP = Armor-Piercing - more effective against targets wearing body armor, to keep things balanced they do less damage to targets not wearing armor.

SP = Soft Point - more effective against targets not wearing body armor, of course they do less damage to targets wearing body armor.

Bit more of an explanation...

FMJ(full metal jacket)
Lead core is enclosed by a strong metal jacket on this non-expanding, deep-penetrating, general-purpose bullet. Provides smooth, reliable feeding in all types of semi-auto handguns/subs/rifles.

AP(armour piercing)
An Armour piercing shell is designed to penetrate armour. the shell has to withstand the shock of punching through armour plate.

SP(soft point)Exposed lead tip on this bullet and broader point diameter provides rapid, controlled expansion at somewhat lower velocities. Broad wound channel results from expansion up to 200% of original bullet diameter.

I use soft point, since most people prefer to carry a parachute or some kind of explosive instead of body armor.
