I've read in various books and comments on here about FMJ overpenetrating and putting unintended targets in danger. Without getting into semantics about how "police use this and it's the best" or "FMJ doesn't expand as much as a HP" and "it will come out the other side of someone who gets shot and kill the next person in line", can somebody simply direct me to some actual factual incidences of overpenetration seriously injuring or killing an accidental bullet trap?
If a bullet is going 1200-1500 FPS wouldn't a torso slow it down quite a bit before it exits out the other side? Maybe not so much through the edge of an arm or some other type of flesh wound, but rather getting shot in the chest or head. Keep in mind I don't have combat or emergency room style experience of any kind and haven't personally witnessed the aftermath of a human getting shot.
THANX!
