okay,I'll give you a lesson on frangible,First it's a composition of 98% copper 2% tin,It's created through heat and pressure,hence you can make it hard or soft depending on the APPLICATION.Now,I have tested MY frangible round for the national pilots association,and the TSA.It will penetrate through the skin of an airplane,the concern for everyone involved(even sky marshalls) is that there is NO OVERPENETRATION,upon shooting a bad guy(for lack of better wording)they actually don't care if it goes through the "skin" of the plane,they can compinsate for that!!!!! Hell I've shot this round through every type of clothing that you can think of,yes even leather,but the whole point to all of this is the lack of over penetration,the lack of bounce back for CQB training and the lack of ricochet. I guess I could go on and on about some of my "clients" who use my ammo for self protection or alot of home owners who do not want to harm their loved once by an over penetrating bullet that goes thru walls, and YOU may think that it is alot of HIPE, but until you have tried it and given it your "expert opinion" then I guess it's no use to go any further with this discussion. Like my father always said "it's tough to teach an old dog new tricks" and :the fear of the unknown will kill ya.
