  Full metal jacket bullet
A Full Metal Jacket bullet (or FMJ) is a bullet that is encased in a copper-coated steel or gilding metal jacket, designed to stop the bullet from fragmenting within its target.
The jacket prevents deformation of the bullet in the barrel or feed mechanism, from dirt overpressures or damage outside the gun.
FMJ ammunition was introduced for ostensibly humanitarian reasons, as the Geneva Conventions prohibit the use of expanding or fragmenting bullets in warfare.

 Full metal jacket hollow point bullet and method of making a full metal jacket hollow point bullet - Patent 5101732
The bullet typically is made of a lead alloy and has a jacket typically made of a copper alloy and covers at least part of the ogive and the cylindrical body portions of the bullet.
Since the bullet is rotating as it enters soft body tissue of a target animal, the effective head diameter is increased substantially by the prongs thus increasing substantially the cutting swath of the upset bullet.
The portions of the jacket in the cavity 18 thus form pointed jacket prongs 28 between the slits 22 which converge at the apex 24 on the central axis A. The front end portion 16 is preferably frustoconical in shape.

 Full Metal Jacket (1987): Reviews
Elliptical, full of subtle inner rhymes...and profoundly moving, this is the most tightly crafted Kubrick film since "Dr. Strangelove," as well as the most horrific; the first section alone accomplishes most of what "The Shining" failed to do.
But Full Metal Jacket is uncertain where to go, and the movie's climax, which Kubrick obviously intends to be a mighty moral revelation, seems phoned in from earlier war pictures.
Full Metal Jacket can not be compared to any movie of its era.

They are also extraordinarily good live varmint bullets, because in addition to their superb accuracy, the hollow point design and the relatively thin match grade jackets from which they are made combine to produce excellent, often explosive, expansion on small game, even at extreme distances.
Jacketed bullets may work at very close range when the velocities are moderately high but as the range increases, the jacket prevents the lead from doing its job.

An example of FMJ bullets in their usual shapes: pointy ("spitzer") for the rifle and round for the pistol.
Because the bullet does not expand as hunting bullets are designed to, FMJ are much less likely to stop an enemy combatant.
The bullet relies on its victim to desanguinate (bleed to death), whereas soft-tipped and hollow point bullets are designed to shock the system, destroy vital organs, and to speed the desanguination process.

 CALIBERS -- Federal's EFMJ: Expanding Full Metal Jacket
Expanding bullets penetrate less and "dump" more energy into objects (this is good or meaningless, you decide; the "experts" can't).
Expanding bullets are less likely to ricochet after striking hard objects, and less likely to go too deep and exiting soft objects, hitting unintended objects who then call lawyers (this may also not be a real problem depending on your point of view, hit ratio, and budget).
On impact the internally incised jacket splits, the plug flattens and expands the diameter of the bullet.

Bullet swaging is extremely simple to do, but because for 30 years Corbin has been developing every imaginable kind of bullet and the tools to build them, we've built up a formidable arsenal of equipment to make any kind of bullet from a round musket ball to a sophistocated multi-section tungsten powder core rebated boattail.

 Blowback .223 by Dale Steinreich
Another "nice touch" was that the bullet would sometimes ricochet off bone and bounce around inside the body, shattering in tiny hard-to-remove fragments (which promoted internal bleeding) and ripping sizable hunks of internal tissue away (for good measure).
Thus what was nominally a full-metal-jacket bullet had in effect roughly the same destructive capability as some hollow- or soft-point bullets.
While the traditional 30-06 caliber bullet of the M1 Garand and 7.62 bullet of the M14 rifle would immediately knock a man down, the 5.56 bullet instead enters the body, quickly turns sideways after passing through only 4" of flesh, then breaks in two major pieces, as well as many smaller fragments.

 Quiz by Anup Mantri on Mar 13 '04
A bullet with a soft and hollow point, often used in gaming, produces on impact, a widening of the wound due to an expansion of the bullet itself-a phenomenon called "Mushrooming" in Gunner's parlance.
So another kind of bullets were invented which offer greater penetration or maximum penetration and zero mushrooming thanks to their clever casing and shape.
The jacket prevents deformation of the bullet in the barrel or feed mechanism, from dirt overpressures or damage outside the gun.
