I've noticed something with 9mm FMJ, that is sucks. I get it "Pewhnatrashun" but that is the problem....
I've been doing a lot of research and by that, watching a lot of shootings, I've noticed something, .357 Sig, .45 ACP , 9mm JHP when they hit the attacker in the Thorax kill square, drop an attack, easily then they yes, they cease life function.
Yet, the 9mm FMJ, it just hits them, they stumble and ball up and cry. I don't want to start a caliber war but the truth has to be said, energy kills, when someone gets hit by a car, that is energy, specifically Kinetic energy which is also work, work being done on the target.
The more KE a round has, the more work it will do, that means the more force it will apply on a target, now a 9mm FMJ with 954.36FPS and only 340 ft*lbs in FMJ...Without getting toooo "sciency" it typically over penetrates and transfers only less then 100ft*lbs of energy, which over penetration, low energy transfer...means, its like a knife wound...very little damage other then the PC
I hate to say it but 9mm fanboys need to realize that over penetration will not only get other people killed but it may not do much to an attacker, 9mm JHP that isn't going to over penetrate is the key, 9mm FMJ....sucks...I hate to say it
