This video compares the penetration capabilities of 9mm FMJ, Frangible, and Hollow Point ammunition through a 4x4 wood post backed by sheet metal and plywood. FMJ demonstrated high penetration, Hollow Points were stopped by the sheet metal, and surprisingly, Frangible rounds also penetrated the sheet metal. The host concludes Hollow Points are best for self-defense to avoid over-penetration, while Frangible is for steel targets.

This video compares Federal 9mm frangible ammunition against standard FMJ rounds, focusing on their performance against hard surfaces. Frangible rounds are shown to disintegrate upon impact with steel or concrete, creating minimal damage and dissipating energy safely, making them ideal for close-range steel target practice. In contrast, FMJ rounds exhibit significantly higher penetration power, shattering a concrete paver stone.
