Depends. If someone have an AR500 body armor, i will not find “overkill” use armor piercing rounds against an human, against unarmored targets, hollow point is much more deadly than armor piercing… Armor piercing rounds tends to “transfer” less energy on soft target and pass trough more. On Hardline for example\* “AP Tracer Rounds deal a greater amount of damage to armored targets and counteract the Armored Insert gadget, but deals less damage to unarmored targets. The accessory also gives each round a visible tracer path, allowing players to track their firing paths easier, although it also exposes their location to the enemy as a result”\* [http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Armor\_Piercing\_Rounds](http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Armor_Piercing_Rounds) Other game that i played who allow you to choose the type of ammo to use is Fallout new vegas. Armor piercing rounds ignore a lot of enemy armor, but tends to deal less damage than regular ammo, hollow point is the opposite. ---
