I shoot a lot of "target ammo"-FMJ in semiautos and lead in revolvers.Any of it can kill someone,just a matter of stopping power-frankly a lead round nose or flat point 250 gr 45 Colt round is pretty potent.A 115 gr 9mm is not known for stopping power at all,but unless I am mistaken it is what that madman in Tucson used to shoot the Congresswoman and all those other people.I don't believe she could have survived a head shot with anything except FMJ-a hollowpoint would have been fatal for sure.He still did kill 6 people with the rounds.Graveyards are full of people shot with .22's.
