Why would that be "more meaningful"??? In CQB, how often is there a barrier between shooter and target?

If a bare gel test is not relevant to those needs, why is it done in military and law enforcement tests? :confused:
Quote:In any event, the CQB round mentioned in the OP was a 70 gr "Brown Tip". We almost certainly want to at least match, if not exceed, the sectional density of that bullet.
Why be concerned at all about sectional density? Isn't maximizing (or optimizing) terminal effects what should be important?
