just for the non-believers....it is real, I was there dissecting tissue and seeing with my own eyes the devistating wounding the 9mm Le Mas round caused. Amazing that NONE of the Le Mas rounds (rifle or pistol) over penetrated the animals but conventional bullet designs did and if my commrades were potentially behind or around the bad guy, they could possibly be shot/injured by a 'pass through' which makes the shooting operator potentially not take the shot.
There is no question that anyone hit in the arm or leg with this round will not be using that limb unlike regular bullet designs, that may do damage but may not cause incapacitation of that limb, i.e., they could still be supporting themselves to take another shot at you.
