Hi Mulder,

Well, you got me thinking (always dangerous), and found this article online regarding frangible ammunition:

http://www.thekcrachannel.com/news/972141/detail.html

My copy and paste function is messed up right now, otherwise I'd post the entire article. Basically, it describes how a frangible bullet works, and states that they are used by Air Marshalls and other airline security agents.

I have an email out to the proprietor of Guntalk, Tom Gresham, and am awaiting a response. But Tom and I have had this conversation before about frangible bullets. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the link.

I've read elsewhere that they were carrying standard hollow-points. Also, their caliber choice (357 Sig) shows that overpenetration isn't a real big concern.

The bottom line is that a few holes in the fuselage aren't a big deal.
