    Why not a multi choice poll?

    I would consider a Hollow Point a Barbers Notch. We will have to get a mod to add it. It is also what the wiki says they are the same thing.

    I love the Barbers Notch look, but have yet to acquire one. Currently I only have a round and a spike.

    Yeah, it's the same.
    Irish point - French point
    Dutch point - Round point.

    Names of points expanded on, as requested by OP


    Before anyone asks, a Clip point or C point is what is in the first Pic as 1c. Spanish Point which are also referred to as Dreadnought Points in some of the old Ads...



    ps: Stay away from my Spike's and nobody gets hurt

    Barber Bullet Point must be from the 1800 wild wild west, just a normal razor hit by a bullet...
