Which type of ammunition is recommended for home defense?

Hollow point
Full metal jacket
Tracer
Birdshot

The correct answer is: Hollow point

A hollow point is recommended for home defense because it expands upon impact, causing maximum damage to the target while minimizing the risk of over-penetration and hitting unintended targets. Full metal jacket ammunition is better suited for target shooting and may not be as effective in stopping an attacker. Tracer ammunition is used for its luminous trail and is not recommended for home defense due to its lower stopping power. Birdshot, while effective for hunting small game, has limited stopping power and may not be as effective in stopping an intruder. It is important to consider the type of ammunition used for home defense as it can have serious consequences for both the target and those in the surrounding area.
