It is also completely flawed as an analytical tool. It may be enjoyable reading of anecdotal accounts but this is hardly compelling evidence of anything measurable.

I'll agree that there is virtually no quantitive evidence from the article, but I do think the qualitative value of the article is worth the reading. Someone on the table is better than attempting to just use ballistic gelatin in my opinion. There are too many other variables in the real world for such a simple measure to address. The box of truth site attempts to add some more quantitative measures for various shooting situations, if you're interested in checking those out as well.

I personally carry JHP, but there is plenty of evidence that lots of clothing can render them less lethal than FMJ in certain situations. The Utah CFP class actually addresses this issue, essentially recommending FMJ for the winter months. I do have some of Federal's expanding FMJ rounds and would feel comfortable with them, but choose to go with 200 grain +P Gold Dots on a daily basis.

I'm sure that many have read through this before, but it consists of excerpts taken from a thread by a medical examiner from Georgia. It is very, very long - but this version of it is just his responses.
