Mostly True
Hollow-point bullets expand upon impact with the body, and in 99% of cases, death is immediate.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (60/100).
The claim that hollow-point bullets expand upon impact is supported by multiple reliable sources, including Wikipedia and specialized ammunition guides. However, the claim that death is immediate in 99% of cases is not supported by evidence. Sources indicate that while hollow-point bullets can cause significant damage, immediate death occurs in about 75% of cases when hitting critical areas like the head. Therefore, the first claim is accurate, but the second claim is exaggerated.
