I don't believe it does that much damage via tumbling, or if it does it slows down a lot. Look at the promo video and they have a picture of the NATO ballistic gel tests. Not much tumbling displayed there. In fact the RCMP did testing with it vs. ballistic gel covered by Lev II body armour and without and the penetration was less than spectacular and didn't meet the minimums of penetration that normal handgun rounds offer.

No substitute for .45 ACP!
