to have an exit wound and potentially ONE bullet with greatly reduced energy that goes past the target. Are you comfortable with a round that only penetrates 1 inch deeper than that bullet? What if the person you are shooting is fatter than the guy Agent Dove was shooting at?Ĭlick to expand.Let's suppose an exit wound kills the guy you are shooting faster. The FBI seemingly based that 12 inch minimum on the fact that Agent Dove's 9mm Silvertip bullet went about an inch less than that in gel and failed to reach the heart on one specific person. and the FBI 12 inch minimum is quite arbitrary. assuming that the bullet has adequate penetration. If your 9mm bullet expands to 0.75", it lets you miss by a whopping 0.2" in any direction on a vital structure and still score a hit. 380 ACP FMJ and 9mm +P+ SuperPlatDottium BondoXTZ Expandomax $2 bullet will have the same result, 99% of the time. 380 ACP underperforming vs 9mm, given identical shot placement, my guess is that a. I personally don't think an exit wound is necessarily a bad thing.Īfter Agent Dove's bullet failed to kill the bank robber by means of insufficient expansion, all the gunshots between the FBI and the robber that missed entirely were a much greater threat to the public in my opinion than if Dove's round has gone through and through.Īs for.
personally I like my bullets in the 18-24" penetration range because my ideal bullet is capable of severing the spine on a fatter person rather than merely reaching the heart like the FBI standard assumes to be ideal. Most are just over the arbitrary 18 inch mark that the FBI recommends apparently because the chances of overpenetration increase over 18 inches. FMJ gets 16-26 inches in gel depending on the load in gel tests I've seen.
