That's the same article I read recently. Makes sense that the slower velocity could make penetration better as opposed to higher velocity.
No it doesn't. The old "Garrett" marketing chestnut again.
The only reason it might penetrate more is because the hardened lead Garrett projectiles would probably break up on impact if pushed faster.

Kind of like an arrow penetrating through game despite of the very low velocity.
sort of because arrows have sharpened blades as points ... unlike flat nosed blunt lead bullets
Sorry to be blunt (pun intended
) but the Garrett marketing/promotion claims for selling their bullets have been around for nearly 14 years ... and are brought up over and over again.Can you kill a dead donkey with a Garrett bullet? Only if you throw it at it slow enough ...
