So would I as long as it's a large caliber soft lead bullet with a flat nose.
Even if a .452" flat point lead slug doesn't expand, and I doubt it would at handgun velocity, it still cuts a 1/2" diameter hole in whatever it passes through including a bad guy's internal organs. I keep my .45acp bedside gun loaded with Speer hollowpoint ammo, but I wouldn't feel helpless before my enemy with a good lead semiwadcutter in the pipe.
