That makes me think of a Radically Invasive Projectile (RIP). Its a controlled fragmentation hollow point of pure copper, precut into eight sections called trocars. On impact, the trocars separate from each other and the base of the bullet (which creates the ninth wound channel) and travel through the target's body radially from the gunshot site.
