What I got out of this video was that handgun bullets generally lack sufficient penetration to incapacitate the victims.
Makes me wonder if all of the hype about maximum expansion is legit. Should defensive loads need to have a combination of both qualities? Expansion and penetration? And if so, what bullet is that?
Just thinkin out loud.
