Looking at youtube video of the gel tests, the 5.7 T6 ammo doesn't actually separate, and since it's certainly not designed to expand, it doesn't look like it would have any better terminal effects than a green tip 5.56mm (which will also blow right through soft body armor). The 9mm, "G2 RIP," looks in gel tests like it separates as you would imagine, but the splinters don't penetrate more than a few inches and don't have enough energy to do much in that distance. The remaining core may penetrate, but it has such a narrow wound channel that at first glance, it wouldn't do much as far as stopping a target in a defense situation.Now, I wouldn't want to be shot with either one, but I don't want to be shot with a .22 short either, so that doesn't mean much.
