You drop one into the water handle first, and it sinks straight to the bottom. You do the same with the second, but it begins to open up as soon as it hits the water. The second umbrella sinks more slowly, because it meets greater resistance from the water. Likewise, when the FMJ encounters a living, water-based body, it can pass right through it.
Here you can see two rounds fired into ballistic gelatin. The track inside the red box is an FMJ round. The track inside the blue box is a JHP round. We fired several rounds at the shooting range into a block of Clear Ballistics synthetic ballistic gelatin.
This gelatin is designed to mimic the way a human body would respond if you shot it with a bullet. The bullet entered the gelatin on the right hand side of the image above and traveled inches through the entire block of gel. From there, it exited the block and kept traveling down range.
We were unable to recover the bullet. You can see it was pretty much a straight line through the target. Notice how this round not only stopped inside the gel block but how the track is also much uglier. The jacket has a much smoother surface, with less variation from bullet to bullet than traditional lead. The only real disadvantage a JHP bullet may have is expansion issues with thick clothing.
Some reloaders have experienced this by not loading the round properly or when using experimental mixtures. JHP ammunition is very popular because it performs very well in most capacities where a hollow point is desired without the lead nose.
In a nutshell, full metal jackets are typically for target practice, and jacketed hollow points generally are for defense. A good rule of thumb is to run at least one box of your self-defense ammo of choice through your pistol to confirm reliable function. Finally, carefully research the firearm you are using for self-defense.

Others may malfunction. This is a bullet with an exposed lead up. Unlike a full metal jacket that completely encases the bullet in a coating of metal alloy, the soft point leaves a portion exposed. This causes it to expand upon impact — creating a greater surface area.
It also fouls up the barrel of a firearm less than non-jacketed bullet. This type of bullet has a blunted tip. In the middle of these broad categories are a number of really good styles of ammunition.
