Re: Pilot's gun discharges on US Airways flight

Frangible is the word and they are designed to fragment after impact, but they can still penetrate about half of regular bullets.

Box O Truth tested a popular 9mm frangible and it went through 6 layers of drywall and impacted the seventh.

The Glaser Blue Tip (tested) is made of compressed #12 shot. It is believable that it could penetrate a couple of layers of thin aluminum.
