Hornady produced its Critical Duty ammunition with law enforcement in mind by testing it against six urban barriers so officers could effectively stop threats without risking over penetration, company reps said at SHOT Show.
Following standard FBI protocol, Hornady fired the projectiles into bare gelatin, wall board, heavy clothing, plywood, sheet metal, and glass. When fired from 10 feet away from the target, the bullets achieved 12-15 inches of penetration in each of the media.
