in order to kill a suspect with a lighter bullet it has to move faster (reg 9mm 1150fps and Glaser's run about 1600fps) so its like shooting a +p+ round to do the same job. will they fragment at the first thing they hit; I doubt it. its a sell, know what's behind your target
NO, right now my life is in limbo so I have no access to anything (story to be told at a later date) but there are some videos on YT. the standard for the FBI is 12-14 inches of penetration so the lighter the bullet the faster it has to travel to achieve the depth
The original Glasers were a light copper jacket filled with #12 shot suspended in teflon at a very high velocity. I interviewed the inventor one time and he related a couple of shootings (police related) where they were used. Let's just say the results were quite satisfying. I fired just one of them into a block of modeling clay and the cavity it produced was considerable. As for how they're made today, I can't answer that. I know those old cartridges had a tip that looked like a pencil eraser stuck in the end.
