Quote:I believe he is thinking about the more modern frangibles. They make a round where the bullet is actually compressed metal particles (think sand). It will damage tissue, but pretty much falls apart if it hits anything more solid than a human body. Neat stuff, but I think heavy clothing (or enough layers) might be enought to defeat this type of round.
They also make lower velocity rounds, specifically for use on airplanes to minimize the risk of over-penetration. I seriously doubt that the air marshalls are packing Federal Hydrashoks in their duty weapons........

I read some place that air marshals are using bean bag rounds.
I reckon those would work if you aimed for the groin.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
