An interesting example that really shows that 9mm penetrates but doesn't stop
people as well as the.45, which doesn't penetrate well, but does stop people.
The 9mm went through three layers which indicates good penetration. The.45
went through the first layer and fragmented which indicates good stopping
power as the round stays in the target and doesn't go through.

Too true! But if you are being shot at, wear armour and hope the opposition is
using.45, not 9mm pistol ammunition
