Being neither a ballistics expert or mall ninja, I don't know everything I need to know about hollow points.

Regarding the post about the NJ LEO stating that hollow points would penetrate body armor, wouldn't they do just the opposite, ie, get less penetration because they fan out quickly as they move through layers of kevlar? So a hollow point VS Kevlar could pontentially be less deadly than a FMJ projectile that isn't designed to produce the expansion of HP's?

And another small question: Do the hollow noses create a less aerodynamic bullet, meaning a reduction in FPS?
