FMJ yaw and upset performance

[VASCAR2]

Regardless of which firearm is being employed I think the projectile and velocity is maybe slightly behind the users ability to employ the weapon effectively. I put a lot more emphasis on training and tactics than a particular bullet in most cases from a law enforcement perspective. One shooting I'm familiar with involved a local officer armed with a 20" barrel AR 15 with 55 grain ballistic tips. The subject was running and the round penetrated the subject in the buttocks area whereupon the subject fell to the ground. The subject then became compliant and was taken into custody even though this varmint bullet exhibited varmint bullet penetration and tissue destruction. This subject fully recovered from being shot with no permanent disability. Personally I like some of the newer bonded core JSP bullets which are now employed by a lot of police departments. From all my research the 5.56 in use by US police has been very effective where most subjects are stopped. I think the bonded core bullets are penetrating barriers like automobiles better than some of the older designs. I think the 6.5 G would make an excellent LE cartridge but I just don't see it happening when the 5.56 has been a big step up in performance for the local uniformed or tactical police officer in the US. With the lack of funding and training budgets I can't see LE transitioning to a different rifle/carbine caliber anymore than the US military. From my personal experience I felt a lot better armed with my 16" AR 15 than any other weapon I'd previously employed as a LEO. I would have gladly used my 16" 6.5 Grendel AR but I felt fortunate to have an AR15 in 5.56 the last few years where I was permitted to carry this weapon. The 5.56 with the proper ammo probably makes a better LE weapon than it does a Military weapon due to the fact LE departments don't have to comply with the Hague convention rules on bullet design which are a crock!
