More disruption than FMJ in what?
Alpacas / leaping lemurs

A simple "I don't know" would have sufficed.
It seem reasonable to me to think that many tests which show .380 FMJ over-penetrating might show .380 FMJ in a much better light should passing through bone be simulated. I’ve always believed that in the first hey-day of .380 in Europe in the 1930’s, when only FMJ was available in both .380 and 9MM, .380 provided that sweet spot of enough penetration without grossly over-penetrating, as did 9MM FMJ.an extremely common barrier is bone.
My apologies, 481. It's ballistic gelatin, the standard human analog for ballistic testing.
I presumed you were going to say something snarky along the lines of "people aren't made of ballistic gel" or "well, if I ever get attacked by a block of gelatin...".
Usually when I suspect that's going to be the response to my reply, I'll head it off with a redirecting load of nonsense.
