.380 FMJ vs HP?
It is difficult to keep on THR when you have developed a headache!
The premise was .380 question: FMJ vs HP ammunition for one shot "stops?"
N982L: The thing about the FMJ is that it basicaly goes where you point it.
Alright then, point it at the heart or brain. The AK and Mosin examples you give verify that statement.
But then you state how the HP will most likely slide off and bounce around, shredding organs. Like a pin ball or billiards? With the same logic it "might" also bounce around shredding connective tissue, or round and round inside the rib cage, while that old FMJ round goes right to the vitals.
Naked P: Sorry, I'm lost or have become side tracked when reading about advocating the selection of other calibers and guns.
