I've edited the Notes section to reflect the (effectively sole) scenario under which it may be used. It's a very strong mod in niche cases and on a gun with a 20%/*2.0 crit stat, it offers a fairly substantial boost. With a 48% crit rate (pistol gambit) and a crit damage stat of 3.2 (target cracker, maxed) in place, the additive improvement of Hollow Point purely from a critical damage perspective is equal to about ~60% of the damage of a shot per shot. On guns such as the Magnus, it's a mild improvement (about 5% on your base DPS). However, when you add in a maxed rank Hornet Strike, the damage increase becomes considerably less substantial and the critical damage element begins to shine. On a Magnus with Target Cracker, Pistol Gambit and Hornet Strike (all maxed), adding on Hollow Point will improve DPS by about 17%. WTV will have a lesser boost, but given a fairly comparable critical stat it would definitely be a boost. That said, it's still probably not worth the mod slot! Powerful mods like Ammo Mutation, Lethal Torrent, elemental mods etc. would most likely be stronger choices.
