       Correct, what most people try to get now is maxium penetration without 
OVER penetration.  Sounds easy, but its not.  A .45 that will penetrate 5 
inches in an average man will pretty much destroy any organ in it's path even 
hit at 90 degrees on a human (the thickest shot).  However, that same bullet 
will do less damage to a man weighing over 300 lbs.
       AETs were the result of the false theory of "stopping power", which is 
still portrayed today heavily in hollywood.  If you get shot at close range 
with a PAIR of uzi's you WILL die, you will fall down, you WILL NOT fly 20 
feet, smash through a window and fly across the street.
       i don;t allow AETs......
