It seems to simulate naked bellies fairly well, and its main motivation for use is that it is uniform and can be used for controlled lab testing with repeatable results. The disadvantage is that the similarity to hits on a real mammalian body, other than the NAKED BELLY, is ephemeral at best. A fragile bullet can blow up on a wrist bone and do little to no damage to the body behind it. A thick leather coat can similarly stop it.
I am not a great fan of "trick" bullets that seem to produce good results only under very specific, limited conditions. When I go deer hunting, I want a sturdy, expanding, penetrating bullet, and humans are similar in size to a deer.
