These Hollow-Point Bullets May Be Safe to Shoot on a Plane

Researchers of a new project commissioned and fully financed by the Czech Interior Ministry at the the University of Defense in the Czech Republic claim they have developed a fool-proof, 100-percent safe bullet for air marshals to use on planes.

Hollow-point bullets are used by U.S. police all the time, but these bullets travel faster than competing hollow-point bullets on the market today, and they’re guaranteed to not penetrate the thin walls of an airplane cabin, nor pass through a human body.

“By developing this 9mm ammunition, we’ve reached its technical and ballistic limits,” Lt. Col. Ludek Jedlicka from the Department of Weapons and Ammunition at the Faculty of Military Technology, told the Associated Press.
