I'm not going to bother dissecting everything you wrote. I'm not out to argue with you personally, just stop the spread of misinformation. From the linked article:



The first two bullets in that graph are hollowpoints fired from handguns. They actually have much deeper penetration in human tissue after going through drywall than they would have without going through drywall. In other words, a hollowpoint that might have lost most of its energy after passing through just one human being may easily go straight through two human beings if it goes through a wall first. This is because the drywall tends to close up the hollowpoint and prevent proper expansion, effectively turning a JHP into an FMJ.
