.... which is one of their virtues if "over penetration" is an issue, like in a home or apartment. A hunting bullet that expands and expends it's energy in the body of the animal is said to be more effective than one that merely goes through leaving a pencil sized hole. Many hunters can vouch for that and why FMJ ammo is not allowed for hunting in most jurisdictions.

Compared to a .38 LRN, .32ACP or .380ACP FMJ from a pocket pistol, a M36 with reversed HBWCs sounds like a better deal.

You pays you money -you takes you choice.

It's a moot question for us Canucks who are denied CCW by the politicians who have 24/7 armed protection at public expense. The use of a firearm for self protection this side of the DMZ puts you in more trouble than the creep who broke into your house and threatened you and/or your family.

You may be exonerated in court, but it's going to bankrupt you, the process part of the punishment.
