Re: Filing an 'X' on a bullet.. My father's tale. Reason?
Dum-dum bullets were made and used by criminals in Prohibition days, long before there was any fancy ammo such as we have now. The idea was for the round to either spread out or break up, causing even more damage. Street-fighting made short ranges where a Tommy gun was the weapon of choice.
