Bullets with a cavity in the tip to allow greater expansion and less penetration on impact with a target.

Usually identified as "cop-killer bullets," even though hollowpoints are actually less effective at penetrating body armor than standard ball rounds.
Homeowner: I use hollowpoint bullets in my home defense firearm so I don't risk injuring an innocent bystander.
