Comment on Firearm Advice

I looked up “fluted penetrator” and just linked the first thing I saw, so thanks for the correction and actually reading the article that I was being too much of a tool to read.
This is the bullet I should have used in the image and original comment.

All good man!! There’s a ton of different ammo aimed at different things, so no doubt too many overlap in names and specs, etc.
Holy shit that guy chose “defensive” ammo of .357 magnum lmao! Is there a .357 that wouldn’t destroy the target? Haha that’s awesome. The 9mm for the 2nd test is far more common, but interesting they’re going for penetration while still expanding. You’d think they contradict each other.
All I know is, I don’t want to be on the receiving end of any bullets!

Okay, so that’s the wierd part of them. The author says expansion but it’s not the bullet itself expanding on those. The idea is the bullet stays rigid but those fluted channels and flat nose push matter outward away from the bullet.
Yeah though, bad wound to try and do any kind of first response on
