He hit the man in the buttocks, a wound that typically is not fatal. But this round appeared to kill the assailant instantly. ?<b>It entered his butt and completely destroyed everything in the lower left section of his stomach &#8230; everything was torn apart<\/b>,? Thomas said &#8230; The bullet is so controversial that if Thomas, a former SEAL, had been on active duty, he would have been court-martialed for using it. &#8230; The frangible APLP ammo will bore through steel and other hard targets but will not pass through a human torso, an eight-inch-thick block of artist?s clay or even several layers of drywall.
