I know there has been a lot of talk (and arguments and disagreements etc etc...) regarding ammo.
I had a certain brand of ammo reccomended to me and I want some opinions of the claims by the ammo manufacturer. Im not gonna mention names, although I am sure that if you wanted to find out WHO this manufacturer is it would be easy... But my question is... is what they are saying accurate, or is it propaganda to sell ammo?

Hollowpoints that are moving too slow, or limit energy transfer with a "controlled expansion" design can over penetrate - going straight through with little effect. Energy that passes through the selected target is wasted energy and can cause harm to unintended persons or property. Your intent is to STOP the aggressor that is bent on doing harm to you. Regardless of the situation, you will have to account for your actions and every round that is fired.
There continues to be a misconception that a heavier bullet somehow has more energy and that a long deep wound channel is necessary. That may be true in a hunting bullet, but in close quarters combat, the trade of less weight and added velocity is a positive increase in energy. Energy is energy and if effectively transferred into the target - it does not matter whether it is energy from a 9mm or a .45 ACP.
(OUR BRAND) ammunition is tested against common barriers. When shot through four layers of heavy material, (including leather) the (OUR BRAND) bullets retain adequate velocity to reliably expand. Tests against windshield glass and car doors proved that the high velocity (OUR BRAND) bullets did not deflect from their intended path and still expanded well into a gelatin medium. Car doors and windshields are no barriers to (OUR BRAND) high velocity ammunition.
