If you’re firing bullets at something soft (like meat) you want them to squish or break up so they transfer their energy into the target and make a big hole instead of staying together and zipping straight through leaving a little hole.

If you’re trying to get through something hard you want a bullet that doesn’t squish so that all that energy is concentrated in a very small place and hopefully will punch through it.
