to:
1. It wasn\\\'t because the projectiles were \\\"too good at killing.\\\" Rather because they caused excessive wounds, and were claimed to be inhumane.
2. Bullets with cavities on the tip are not more accurate than full-metal jacket ammunition because of the open-tip. Rather, during the forming process, an open-tipped bullet will have a more uniformly formed boat-tail (base). The tip configuration is a less critical feature in regards to flight characteristics.
3. Not all open tip ammunition is expanding. For example, the US military 175-grain M118LR bullet. Commercially, it is known as a Sierra Matchking bullet. It features an open tip, however, it is non-expanding, and thus, does not violate any treaties of war.
4. The police example is really weak, as it\\\'s an apples/oranges comparison.
5. Expanding rounds aren\\\'t intended to \\\"knock down\\\" targets. Bullet expansion serves to create a larger wound channel to inflict more severe damage, and to fully impart all the energy of the projectile into a soft fleshy target.
