Hollow points are more destructive and dangerous to the person who was shot. They cause so much internal damage that the person will not survive a wound that may have been survivable otherwise. They are banned by the Geneva convention.

I'd like a source on that final sentence if you have it.

I get the arguments for and against them, but I generally favor leaving those decisions up to the people involved.

Because they are less likely to also shoot the person behind the person you shot.
