A dead blow hammer has a hollow head partly filled with shot. When the head lands, the shot arrives a fraction later and kills the rebound, so the hammer stays where it struck rather than bouncing back. That is the whole point of the design. It also means the energy goes into the component rather than back up the handle into the wrist.
That matters where a bounce would do damage or lose the position: driving a component home, seating a bearing, or striking near something that must not be hit twice. A solid hammer of the same weight cannot do it. A rebound also risks a second strike landing where nobody intended it, which on a finished component is the damage being avoided.
Face material decides what the hammer may strike. Nylon marks nothing and suits finished surfaces. Brass is softer than steel so it deforms rather than the component, and is the traditional choice near machined parts. Rubber faces sit at the softest end. Sealey hold nylon faces at 1.75lb and 2.5lb and brass faces at 12oz and 1.5lb.
Weight runs 630g and 1.3lb through 1.5lb, 1.75lb, 2lb, 2.2lb, 2.5lb, 2.8lb and 3lb. The shot loading means a dead blow hammer feels heavier in use than the same figure on a solid head.
