    Riot defense M193 or M855?

    Pick one to defend your home against a massive horde that wants you dead.

    ...ETA...I understand the importance of shot placement > M193 v. M855

    True wealth is time. Time to enjoy life.

    Life's journey is not to arrive safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy schit...what a ride"!!

    I would venture shot placement would be more important than choosing between the 2 types.

      M193 is a better round.

          The M193 is designed to tumble once it enters the target (human body), thereby dumping all its energy, and doing max damage to internal organs. It weighs 55 grains and is comprised of lead with a copper jacket.

          The M855 (Green tip) weighs 62 grains and is better suited for barrels with a 1:7 twist. Like the M193 it is copper jacketed lead, but has a steel core. Some ranges will test with a magnet. It will likely enter then exit the human body causing the deadly pneumothorax effect.

          Take your pick. Humans aren't all that tough.

              Horde? Probably M855 as it will probably go through a couple but honestly, they will both do the job.

                M193 needs a 1 in 12 twist barrel for the tumbling to happen consistently

                    M855 because people don’t walk around naked and shield-less.

                        None of the above. Soft points or MK318.

                          Humans are soft targets, especially city folks in designer Tshirts.

                          Either one will work.

                            Hasn't happened, prediction won't happen. In mass shootings it only takes a shot to spread the public so if you're really interested, consult Vegas shooter data.

                              Anqueefers are the ORIGINAL "soft"... target.

                              M193 for certain.
