All FMJ round nose, and lead RN have sorry records for stopping power.

They tend to make small puncture wounds, with little surrounding tissue damage (despite the wave of experts telling us that .45 FMJ will stop anything).

Energy TRANSFER, in the target, is what destroys tissue, not the energy wasted through over penetration.
