ping Oren: bullets that won't penetrate sheetrock
Hi Oren,
A customer told me yesterday that he uses a bullet in his 45 ACP that won't penetrate sheetrock. He could not remember what they were called. You know what they are called? -T |

He said these were an expanding hollow point with a really wide opening and an aluminum jacket. |

My guess is she "knows everything" if you ask her :-) She is a former range officer that taught 37mm stun guns for close range shots in prison cells. Now if I could get her to learn about Windows OS. |

Perhaps frangible rounds designed to break up on impact. Ammunition today is "not your father's ammunition"! It's amazing what's out there for the consumer. I've shot .380ACP ammo with a bullet weight of ~ 55 gr that will attain almost 2000fps velocity. For reference, a common .22LR bullet is 40gr. Same thing with 9mm, .40S&W and .45ACP. Extremely light bullets designed to inflict maximum damage at extremely high velocity with "sub par" penetration. Glaser ain't the only low penetration load out there, just the first. FWIW, it's a hollow point design but hardly hollow. The cavity is filled with teflon and bird shot and capped with polymer cap. When discussing low penetration rounds, it's good to remember that other ammo called less than lethal, less lethal, etc. can still kill you and does in many instances. I would not want to be the test subject standing behind a target placed on 5/8" drywall with any of the rounds out there. |

My point was there is no guarantee, no magic bullet that will ensure that. Fundamental safety rules apply. Still, we're a lot closer to the "magic bullet(s)" now than we were a decade or so ago. |

Shoot only when your target is in sight and your neighbor isn't standing behind him. Generally, a .45 won't pass through the body and go through the drywall, ordinarily :-) -- '...we don't wanna bring our guns, but ready if it goes there -- Madison Rising |

The 'non-lethal' rubber bullets used by the Brits in Ireland certainly proved lethal. |

I would not want to be the test subject standing behind a target placed on 5/8" drywall with any of the rounds out there. The 'non-lethal' rubber bullets used by the Brits in Ireland certainly proved lethal. It's all about shot placement. Locally, a deputy killed a bad guy (deemed to be a solid shooting) with a bean bag round. OTOH, I know of an instance where a 70 year old woman took three hits from the same type round and it didn't phase her as she'd created her own "body armor" using newspapers and they didn't hit her in the noggin. Repeat after me: "There is no such thing as a non-lethal round!" Even a round classified "less than lethal" can kill. |
