PJ24 said:Over penetration is NOT what you want in a close in situation. You're too close to your targets, and the last thing you want are bullets coming through walls hitting YOUR guys. These are some of the problems we have with the 9mm.
I carry a .40 for most of my secondary weapon needs.
major liability said:Yeah, well, I don't think overpenetration will be a negative aspect of handgun cartridges once the Army gets all their computerized electronic satellite-based targeting IFF GPS abacus crap online.
For right now, though, I suppose you wouldn't want that sort of frienly fire. I thought soldiers would be coordinated enough to avoid emerging on opposite sides of the target. If a pistol round will go through him, what about your rifles?
moving0target said:PJ, do you think the military should use frangible ammo in more situations?
major liability said:What about those new blended metal bullets that penetrate walls and armor but explode when they hit flesh? Nasty. But quite effective, I'd imagine.
Its not the guy who carries it who decides.Le Mas is VERY expensive as would be switching from 9mm.PJ24 said:I've seen more cases than not where it does not penetrate the wall (that's a good thing), but I have seen it burn through steel plates. As for the effects on live tissue, the hype for it lends true. Once it hits live tissue, it frags like a mofo, makes for ugly and big wounds.,
I can't say I have any complaints with them, and I don't know of any other guy that's carried them down range that does either.
