A: Hi David! Please forgive me, but I'm still waiting on that information from the manufacturer. I've just sent my contact a quick note, and will update this ammo's page as soon as I hear back from him!
*Update* Just heard back from my guy! MV and ME are now updated.

A: Hi Henry! Someone else asked that just recently, as a matter of fact. I'm still waiting on my contact at SinterFire to give me this round's ballistic data, which I'll use to update this ammo's listing ASAP. I hope to hear from him soon!

A: Hi John! The short answer is yes. In fact, frangible ammo is often used for home defense by shooters who wish to minimize the chance of penetrating multiple walls, which could put innocent bystanders at greater risk. Furthermore, ammo like this would be used in certain tactical situations where wall penetration must be kept at a minimum – for example, if terrorists ever took hostages at a nuclear power plant. Very specific circumstance, but you get the idea.
The down side with this ammo as far as self-defense is concerned is that it won't offer the kind of terminal expansion that's best equipped to quickly neutralize a threat. Also, a relatively lightweight frangible bullet may have less momentum than a traditional, heavier projectile, which means it may not penetrate soft tissue as deeply. For that reason shot placement is more important with frangible bullets, as are follow-up shots.
