It seems that this upgrade in power would always result in over-penetration through
the BG's body, resulting in the deaths of innocents.

Re: Future of Firearms

Back in the <1930's ?> there was a fictional character
named Tom Swift.

He had a weapon known as an electric rifle. I don't know if
it was ever explained what that was in the books. If an explanation
was given, I don't know what it was.

Years later, someone developed a non-lethal weapon for police
use and they named it:

TASER = Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle.

FYI. SIA.
