Question: Will a 9Mm Hollow Point Go Through a Person

Will a 9mm go through a human?

It depends on the gun Experiments using ballistic gelatine to mimic the human body suggest that a 9mm bullet from a handgun will penetrate about 60cm through human fat tissue. A fully jacketed bullet from an assault rifle, such as an AK-47, will go much further and can easily shoot through a brick wall.

Is a 9mm hollow point lethal?

There’s a reason most law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, use hollow-points—they make the most of a pistol round’s power. Premium self-defense ammunition isn’t cheap. It’s not because hollow-points are more lethal. In fact, they are generally considered to be less lethal.
