How effective is 9mm fmj at typical pistol distances?
Only gots so many JHPs and i don't want any guests to feel i was rude or didn't take care of their needs properly.
Center mass hits with good shot placement how effective is 9mm vs jhps?
I know hollowpoints are the superior self defense choice and that's always what i rock but ammo shortages being what they are how does fmj stack up?
From ballistic gel tests FMJ will just poke holes in a torso, penetrating all the way through. Not a lot of damage unless something vital was hit. I'm not sure if studies have been done on it, I'm sure there's a military or police study out there. Hollowpoint 9mm projectiles are still available, it wouldn't be difficult to pull the FMJ's and replace with something better.
Solid. I didn't even think of pulling projectiles. Thanks fren.
Just trying to think creatively and practically.
I have enough jhps i'm prolly dead before i run out.
True. I realize that I'd never actually need more than a single box of defense ammo, but it feels weird to daily carry ammo for more than a few months without shooting/replacing it. Plus, falling back on .45 ball from a German gat would be much more effective than 9mm ball, anyway.
It pleases me you know of me and my work.
