You make a grave error. Those ARE blowthrough rounds-- tungsten carbide hollow point with a copper coating to go easy on the barrel. Now, you might be saying, tungsten carbide is incapable of mushroom deformation on soft targets. But if you're saying that, then you haven't seen Hoxxes--there are no soft targets. These babies are designed to chew through as many glyphids as possible before hitting the stone walls of a cavern and THEN mushrooming, thereby mitigating any chance of ricochet into fragile dwarven faces or groins.

For the actual hollow points, we use a visually similar but lead-core bullet.

And for the explosive rounds, we use the same hollow point bullet, but wedge a little chunk of purified nitra in the center.

Here at DRG and co., we like to use the same design as much as possible. That way, we save a LOT of money, which makes everyone, but mostly management, happy.

This guy is a true company man!
