英语词汇dumdum bullet的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	dumdum bullet
词源	dumdum bullet. This particularly hideous bullet—it expands on impact, creating an ugly wound—is named for the Dum- Dum arsenal in Bengal, India, where the British made it to stop the charges of “fanatical tribesmen.” Dumdum, or softnose, bullets were outlawed by many world powers under an interna- tional declaration made in 1899, but that has not entirely stopped them from being used since.
