Obviously these guys have never heard of frangible bullets.

The thickness and strength of the space station walls is not what you may think. We're talking a few millimeters in some places. The guys on MIR occasionally half-joked that they needed to be careful in certain parts of the station because they could put their elbow through the wall.

Maybe, still there are options beyond the old fashioned lead slug or the copper jacketed hollowpoint. Even a beanbag round in a shotgun could be employed to disable someone who became unhinged.

Since I'm not the bloke putting together the emergency procedures manual, I guess it's purely academic.

I just hope they take a serious look at the people they are putting in those tin cans, the last thing we need is to lose a multibillion dollar investment because someones time of the month come around.
