@666wang most trained LEO officers are unable to rely on "shot placement" during life and death situations, but you, mr cool-breeze will laugh in the face of danger and place your FMJ round perfectly in place to stop the perp every time with complete precision, right? Will you be lighting your cigarette too with your other hand while you are doing all this, MR MARKSMEN-of-the-universe?. What a JOKER, go play with your water gun son. Anyone who relies on shot-placement ONLY is an IDIOT.

i believe law enforcement commonly uses fragmenting rounds so as not to cause any collateral damage

@aluisious....Who says you can't blow up meat with a bullet?...Actually yes it can..A bullet can act very similar to this in the area it makes contact with.. After all the human body is made up mostly of water...Im not bragging or anything but believe me I have seen it first hand.

[aluisious]

People don't get attacked by plastic containers of water. You can't "blow up" meat. I really doubt there's a huge difference between FMJ and JHP in a caliber like .45, where either way you're getting hit by a big ass bullet.

@Speedogg138

It litterally turns the surrounding tissue into water, or at least the consistency of water. I am 14 and in my four years of hunting experience I have shot about 10 deer (with a rifle) and it rips the area that was hit apart COMPLETELY. If you want maximum damage, go with a .22-250 round if you have a permit to hunt deer to prevent crop damage. It creates a cavity about the size of a watermelon.

@TheRiggenbach 30-40 I can see being sporting there (still wouldn't do it myself based on past experiences) but good luck to you, let me know how it works out. I can hit paper targets at those ranges no problem but wouldn't stake my game taking on them (no pun intended). But hey you may be better with a pistol than me, I'm a bit of a wizard with a rifle, not so much with a pistol. Good luck, let me know how it works out for you.

[TheRiggenbach]

@VonArgylle i don't need an apology, and you're opinion is just as valuable as mine. this will be for close range only, 30 to 40 yards and in, but yes i can hit a deer sized target out to 80 yards or so with a pistol. i'll post a vid sometime lol. and five yards is almost an instant kill. look, i'm not out to make animals suffer, but every year they are killed humanely by weapons less powerful than a 45. and i promise if i shoot one and never find it, i'll give up the idea

[VonArgylle]

@TheRiggenbach Now if you can show me some evidence that you can hit a target that small with an ACP at 100 yards I'll shut up and even issue an apology. Until then, I'm counting your statement as Youtube puffery. I once put a .30-378 Weatherby Magnum through a buck at 50 yards, right through the lungs and the thing still went five yards before falling over. If that round with perfect placement didn't immediately drop it, you'll excuse me if I have no faith in bringing one down with an ACP.
