The best way to limit overpenetration is to not miss. To that extent, it seems like stopping the fight with the fewest rounds fired is the safest solution for everyone.
Also, give the Brassfetcher link a read. As I noted in the original post, Glaser actually penetrated an interior wall just fine and then penetrated almost the FBI minimum of ballistics gel on the other side - so the chance it will go into the next room is probably higher than you think.
I certainly wouldn't advocate (and I bet the manufacturer of Glaser would not either) taking any shots with Glaser that you would not take with a JHP.
Also, in the original post, I used figures for the average
human male. As someone recently pointed out to me, the average American male tends to be a bit bigger than the global average, with an average depth of around 10" and a width of 20" or so.
