The "Hollow point" of the Match king is stated to be for accuracy, with no design intent for "explosive expansion"

All MatchKing have a hollow point design with a very small meplat for high ballistic coefficient.

And The SMK is noted as not intnded for hunting

"MatchKing Bullets: This is the classification for Sierra's pre-eminent target bullets. "

"While they are recognized around the world for record-setting accuracy, MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications."

I can say, they do a fine job when used as the Army intended

The Us Military does not use expanding "hollow point" ammunition.

We do use open tip ammunition, as it is not open to create an expanding bullet to cause addition wound damage, It is an open tip design used to make the round more accurate.
MK262 MOD 0 and MOD 1 is an open tip bullet approved for combat use, though generally limited to designated marksmen as they re consider the ones in need of a "more accurate" cartridge. In 7.62 mm it would be the M118LR or MK316 MOD 0
Also a Sierra Match Kink open tip bullet used.

They are using water canons at out of controle demonstrations at some points tear gas and CS gas is used.
The use of hollow point ammo is explicitely ruled out by the lawmakers of EU and EU countries.
How the Geneva conventions are assembled is a different story.

Please tell us what department or military unit you believe has this as a policy or training standard.

or perhaps your speaking about non US military and civilian police?
