Related to the talk that U.S. military-related technology is deteriorating and weakening, the standard recommended ammunition of U.S. law enforcement being the 40 S&W round...
Summarizing, from as much as I can remember of the report’s contents that influenced the selection of handgun ammunition for law enforcement agencies: crime scenes resemble spontaneous clashes of individuals or extremely small groups on a battlefield, and in such spontaneous clashes, the small group (or individual) is placed in an isolated situation; it was found that if the barricades and cover structures around the target are effectively destroyed, then, except for those who are very mentally strong, they surrender in a much shorter period of time than in reciprocal, tit-for-tat combat aimed at incapacitating the target by, for example, shooting to kill; and if police organizations apply this to arresting and subduing armed heinous criminals with minimal damage and in a short time, most of the barricades that protect criminals whom police organizations encounter at crime scenes are automobiles or residential walls; and when destroying automobiles and residences efficiently without overpenetration, and with both visual and acoustic effect, the optimal handgun round was the .357 SIG round, and for ease of training, the runner-up recommended was the .40 S&W (Smith & Wesson) round. The 9 mm Luger (Parabellum) round was recommended only slightly higher than the .38 Special, and magnum rounds and the 10 mm Auto round, which cannot be handled by those with general shooting skills, were not recommended due to the risk of overpenetration.
