Actually, they now manufacture "Pre-fragmented" bullets (also known as
Safety ammo; Brands: RBCD, Blus Glaser, Mag Safe) that will do serious
damage to a human being, that won't over penetrate, and that lose velocity
and energy very quickly after impacting a hard surface (such as sheet rock,
car doors, plane fuselage) reducing the chance of blowing a hole in the
plane at 30,000+ feet. Not fool-proof, but better than using bullets that
will go through almost anything.
I personally carry one clip of Mag-Safes and three clips of Speer Gold Dot
hollow points(GDHP) for my HK USP-C 357sig. The Mag-Safes are good for
when there is little between you and the perp and you don't want
overpenetration, but the Speer GDHP's are good for going through
windshields, heavy cloth, doors, the perp, etc.
