Can I get a show of hands? Who here believes in magic bullets? Anyone? No? Hmmm...
I dont believe in magic bullets but some time ago, one or a few ammo companys did produce defensive ammo that was designed to not penetrate walls. I think the ammo was produced with frangable bullets, so yes, there was at one time, and maybe still to this day, ammo produced to not penetrate walls.It’s not overpenetration if it hit someone AFTER it penetrated a wall.
Some of you people believe there are magic bullets that don’t penetrate walls.
The bullet was a fmj 6.5 which never penetrate straight , they yaw and often change course while swapping ends . The diagram is not a true representation . Con was in a jump seat ( similar to old rear seats in station wagons) and was considerably lower than Kennedy .Hey bruh, The .Gov says it happens since 63'

Glazer (glaser?) safety slugs come to mind. I still have a few in 9mm and .40. Basically a jacket filled with shot and moving at greater than standard velocities. They were tested in gelatin a lot back in the day and they definitely seemed to work as advertised. The cost of a 6 round pack turned a lot of peeps away though.I dont believe in magic bullets but some time ago, one or a few ammo companys did produce defensive ammo that was designed to not penetrate walls.

So you say. Just wondering if you can name any of those you people you’re referring to.Wouldn’t be the strangest for you, James.
I think that was one of them that were produced and I think there were a few more of different designs also. Thank you Sir for bringing them back to my memory!Glazer (glaser?) safety slugs come to mind. I still have a few in 9mm and .40.

Not certain about Air Marshal use or not.

We used to make our own . Drop 300 grain sierra . 429 44 mag bullet in lead pot and when jacket floated to the top gently take it out being sure to pour any molten lead out then we filled it up with #7 1/2 shot and epoxy the nose . Loaded up with fast powder because they were pretty light . The sierra worked best because of the small front opening .Glazer (glaser?) safety slugs come to mind. I still have a few in 9mm and .40.

I feel like its pretty easy to hear the difference between an ar and pistol. An Ar/ rifle seems to have a lot more echo than a pistol which usually sounds like a pop with less echo.
I found this out when we did BZO(battle sight zero) I full gear with no hearing protection before a deployment. It felt like there was a tire blowout next to my ear. Pistol rounds are tame compared to rifle.
It’s largely irrelevant. None of them are hearing safe.
