He did that in the original reveal trailer for the 2016 game.

It took me a long time to understand why he did that. It seems he did it so that the bullet is ejected upwards so he can catch it afterwards, probably so that the shell wouldn’t make a sound when it fell on the floor, like someone nearby wouldn’t hear the actual shot even with a silenced weapon but they would hear the shell hitting the floor 
Cocky old bastard

I think it just looked really cool. In theory he’s policing his brass so it’s not around as evidence, but the projectile is still gonna be around so ???

Except for all the professionals both martial and civilian, who have boasted on the battlefield. In fact being cocky was/is a central part of Maori tribal conflicts and sporting conduct.

Same here. 
On a note, I don’t recognize 47’s disguise on the first screenshot. It’s the florist one? But if I’m not wrong, you can’t wear it in the final game.

Damn i love the reflections in this game, IO were always ahead of their time. Every Hitman Game has some tiny details like this and I love it. The Reflections, Ragdoll Physics and how the environments (Flags, Plants etc) react when 47 touches them… Simply incredible.

In C47 and H2SA, you can dress pretty much as any male character, including simple civilians. So yeah, a few little-known disguises can be discovered

It’s more or less established that 47 uses hollow points for his pistols at least, and likely any other firearm that he comes prepared with, so that significantly decreases the forensic evidence that can be collected from a fractured bullet and then compared with the gun if they were ever confiscated, while a spent cartridge would still have unique clip and chamber marks intact if left lying around, as well as fingerprints or DNA from sweat or skin cells if he ever touched it with his bare fingers. Anything that decreases his chances of being traced or caught by the authorities, and/or convicted in court, is worth taking an extra moment or move to perform, in the mind of someone as thorough as 47.

If you have time you’d pull even a hollow point out. But you’d need lots of time.
I find it interesting that 47 uses hollow points in his AMT hardballers which were named specifically for hardball ammunition. I have one of the best hardballers I have ever seen. 230 grain FMJ and it runs like a beast. With hollow points it’s guaranteed to work “60% of the time… every time.” << Brian that doesn’t make any sense. (Name the movie). My point is I’d never trust my life to that pistol with hollow points. With FMJ you’ll just over penetrate and kill the person behind the target. Video games ignore all this of course. It’s a target pistol though. Copy of the colt gold cup with no reason to be in 47s hands except it was popular in action movies bc if was all stainless steel when nothing else was.
Yes, I thought that the AMT Hardballer was chambered for high calibre ammo as well that is why the bullets ragdoll enemies (That and IO wanted to show ragdoll off because it was a novelty they were in the ground floor on) It is possible 47 uses hollow-points over others but I don’t think there is evidence to suggest 47 uses them exclusively in the games. Common sense says that he would prefer it over a lot of other ammo type but there is still other ammo types.

Oh the film is Anchorman I used to watch it a lot in my glass case of emotion.

The caliber is the same (.45 acp) no matter if it’s hollow points or not. Back then they didn’t really make the 1911 in various calibers. Now you can get it in .45acp, 9mm, .38 Super, .40 SW, 10mm, and even .22 LR, but back then it was just 45.
Without getting too much into the weeds, round tip full metal jacket (think any bullet a layperson would visualize when they close their eyes) will feed better. By feed I mean travel from the top spot of the magazine into the chamber and be ready to be fired. The hollow points are shorter and the gun was designed for full round tips so often the hollows won’t actually travel up to the chamber. The current round fires and the next round tries to go up but gets stuck and the weapon jams. It’s called a failure to feed / failure to load the next round. It happens a lot with that gun and especially with older versions of it.
Then add in that normal bullets with the full round tip are 230 grain bullets and the hollows are lighter (usually 185 grain) with more or less powder in the case and now you’re in a world of math and physics way beyond my understanding but the damn gun doesn’t cycle the way it should. It’s not the guns fault. The Geneva Conventions say ( or maybe used to say ) militaries must use full metal jacket rounds so the gun was designed around them and hollow points just add variables that were never contemplated. Modern iterations of the gun find ways to deal with these issues but the old ones (hardballer) didn’t even think to try.
Ok I’m off topic far enough. Sorry all, this stuff fascinates me. PS yes!!! Great movie !!!

It is alright, I don’t understand half of it but you need hobbies.
A common mistake. It is actually The Hague Convention bans expanding bullets such as hollow-points, Dum-Dums and soft-points since around 1889 or some time around then.
Any bullet that expands in the body is illegal for military purposes (unless you are the US (which I know you are) since they never ratified the Hague Convention but agreed to abide by it), civilians and police forces can use them though unless local laws prohibit them of course.
I like it a lot as well and I usually don’t like Will Farrell movies.
