WWII German 9mm ammo I have seen were attracted to magnets. I do not know if they were steel jackets or steel core, so I do not believe that is a benchmark of any use. I have not seen any tests of 9/45 ball shot into gel torsos. Even those results will be skewed because I have seen FMG's that penetrated a body from frontal shot, others that did not, it depended on many variables, clothing, specific ammo, bullet design. But if all you have is hardball, it is better than fingernails, though both can possibly leave a body. Be Safe,
