Frangible is a generic term for bullets designed to break apart on impact, generally into small pieces. The term is usually used for military ammo to distinguish it from standard ball ammo. The US military uses a green and white tip color to identify frangible ammo.
The term isn't normally used when referring to civilian ammo. Varmint bullets are frangible bullets, but not made to military specs for such.
