* penetrate at least 12" in ballistic gelatin (enough to reach the vitals after penetrating through an arm, which is a very common hit location in gunfights)
* hollowpoint must expand on bare gelatin
* hollowpoint must expand on gelatin clothed in 4 layers of denim

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.
