Really? Is that confirmed? how does a rifle penetrate less than a slow moving hollowpoint .45ACP?
A very fast-moving, light hollow-point bullet like a .223 or 5.45 V-Max is moving fast enough that it tends to fragment rapidly upon impact. A pistol round is much slower and heavier and therefore doesn't tend to fragment much, if at all.
