I'm not disputing that. I never did understand using fmj for that very reason.No actually we call it shit ammo.
That FMJ is called green tip. We switched to brown tip(hornady) because the rounds was going through windshield then head then headrest then back passangers head which was unacceptable when only one passenger was the target during vehicle interdiction.
I speak from experience not hear say, tv shows or some stupid navy seal book. Green tip or FMJ or whatever you like to call it is shit ammo and doesn't even hold a group.
When you say it zips through I took that to mean clean wound. Over penetration is from lack of expansion. I own an ar. I qualified expert on one. Though I never shot a person with it I have killed deer with it.
I also hunt with a .243. I love small diameter rifles. 5.56, .223, .243, .270, 22-250. Flat shooting guns.
Of those my favorite is .243 in a Remington 700. I trust it to 500 yards. I don't have anywhere to shoot it farther.
What type hornady is the brown tip. I use hornady critical defense in my pistols.
In the rifles I use remington core lockt.
Ball is fmj. Ball ammo is left over from powder and ball days. Ball is just a term for general use ammo. Non tracer, incendiary, dummy, or special match. In the military ball is fmj.and 5.56 green tip is regular ball ammo its not fmj at all.
