On a tangential note, in some westerns, I've seen guys scoring the tips of their bullets with a knife before using them. They cut a little cross in the end. Does this have some effect on ballistics, or is it just some weird ritual?
Poor man's dum-dum. The scoring caused the bullet to expand instead of just compressing. Made it act sort of like a hollow point.
