If you discounted all mitigating circumstances of people possibly being in your background, blah blah blah, which of these 2 rounds would you rather have in your AR for an all around defensive/offensive round?
If you see over penetration as a GOOD thing and don't care about extreme trauma to organs and whatnot, I could see FMJ as a good round, as it may go through things like thick wooden doors, auto metal, etc. a bit more effectively than a BTHP round...
If you think more bodily damage is important and do not find a need for more penetration, I guess you would opt for a BTHP round...
I, personally, carry BTHP rounds in my initial SHTF magazines, but the rest are loaded with good quality (Federal brand) FMJ ammo...I think I should be good to go...
Anyone else?
I made this as a general thread instead of a poll because I actually read the replies to apply a decision in real life, rather than just looking at the overall poll numbers and going off that...
-edit-
CRAP I just noticed that I put JHP instead of FMJ hahaha Yea, I meant to put FMJ vs. BTHP sorry...Fixed.
