And ideally, it would also have the following characteristics: * ability to crack heavy bones such as the pelvis * ability to penetrate intermediate barriers (including car doors at various angles, and windshield glass) * ability to expand and penetrate sufficiently after penetrating those intermediate barriers
It's kinda fun to imagine a situation in which all of those characteristics would be essential. And by fun, I mean terrifying. And there had better be some zombies.

By the time you need a gun at all, your day has gone to shit.
But wouldn't it be nice to have a gun with the ability to take a guy out of the fight, whether you score a chest hit but his arm was in the way, whether the only available shot is through a car door, or if chest hits are doing nothing a shot to the pelvis to keep him from moving?
You can't really expect that your day might be bad enough you'd need a gun, but not bad enough that your bullet might have to penetrate more than 8 inches of bad guy.
