You know, for how much discussion I see on overpenetration, I've never actually seen numbers on injuries and/or fatalities from it.

I was almost on a jury for a case of a guy with a pistol that negligently fired off a shot in his apartment and went into the next apartment over and killed a guy, so it does happen. Heard he ended up getting 5 years for manslaughter.

From what I can see low-mass/high velocity isn't nearly as bad as high mass ones. Like a 7.62x39 or higher can go through an entire house and maybe some brick. There's lots of studies that 5.56 is not that bad all things considered. You don't see a lot on 5.7, but it's rare. Still, if you really want to be stopped by 2 layers of drywall even a .22lr isn't going to cut it. Your best bet that will stop that'll still be effective against a non-covered person is birdshot.

However, I also want a bit of barrier penetration, but that's my personal preference.

My favorite round is 357 Sig more or less and it's too bad that wasn't more successful. 9mm +P, .45, 357 Sig are all fairly close imo.

Only real problem I have read or about of the .357 Sig is it a pain to reload as it is a bottleneck case. Well for the less experienced reloaders not use to reloading bottleneck pistol cartridges.

It's not that bad so long as you aren't retarded since the load data is pretty good nowadays. Back when it first came out there was a lot of trial and error though.

I guess we’re never getting the Russian arms book…

Popenker went ballistic the instant the Azov book announcement came out. It's a real pity, because Headstamp Publishing truly needed some good books beyond what can be charitably defined as "coffee table books" (all of Ian's output), the good Ferguson book and all the other niche inside a niche products. Well, the Russian market for Ian is completely dead and I guess going with the flow to throw out some easy content was a rational move.

This guy genuinely has no clue what he is talking about. The idea that Russia shit it's pants for the first 6 months because "Oh their CnC is so stiff, it's so centralized." is a myth. They went into the war using Battalion Tactical Groups. The whole point of BTGs was that they're more independent, more flexible and more capable as they have what would be considered brigade or division level assets organic to them. The performance of these structures was extremely poor. It was easy to render them combat ineffective, it was hard to coordinate multiple of them for large scale operations and it proved to spread assets such as AT, Tanks, and Artillery way too thin.

They started to fair better when they switched to a more centralized and traditional structure. Also unironically regurgitates the shovel meme.
