    Default Anyone worried about penetration?

    Anyone else ever ponder about how their carry ammo may over penetrate and wound a bystander in a true life threatening scenario? I certainly don't want to end up in the poor house due to a civil lawsuit. I know NYPD can get away with it, but I dont think I would be so lucky.

    I've been watching alot of youtube vids by a fella named tnoutdoors9, and he does really in depth ballistic testing on your popular carry ammo. Most he is finding out that most are slower velocity than what the companies claim, and he disproves alot of rumors.

    I'm not affiliated with this guy but if you ever wondered what your specific ammo would do to flesh, check it out if you haven't already.

    Be more worried about missing. If you've got people around or behind your target then you are taking a big chance of shooting them no matter what the penetration of your ammo.

    NYPD's got a LONG history of BOTH missing, and before that, overpenetrating with 9x19mm FMJs.

    If there are people around and the time affords itself, you can drop to your knee giving the bullets an upward trajectory.

    I don't worry about penetration, as I don't go near airports.
    Rules are written in the stone,
    Break the rules and you get no bones,
    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.
