Furthermore, if it does; as you stated it creates a "nasty hole of an exit wound" which is a lot more capable of stopping and inducing blood loss of the said aggressor, than an FMJ which would punch a 1/4" hole straight through. As I read oso neatly on a bullet test site, "We want to punch a hole in the hydraulics of the person, to induce blood loss and to stop blood flow to the brain so they can no longer pose a threat."
It's not so much because of their inability to penetrate walls and things of that nature that makes JHP's so nice, it's because of their ABILITY to rip apart flesh much larger than the size of the round itself.

It doesn't say much that I use 7.62x39 softpoint though, that's why I'm getting the 590. Twelve holes are better then one.

If you guys want bullet fragmentation, you should see what a 5.56 NATO (.223 Rem.) does from a 20" barrel. At around 2500fps or better, the bullet completely disintegrates into about 43 peices. It's somewhat hard to use a full length AR-15 for home defense though.
My home defense weapon is an SKS-M. Thirty rounds of cheap Russian loaded (but good ammo) soft point 7.62x39. That's until I can scrounge enough cash to buy a Mossberg 590.

Since then, I've fitted a Chinese red fibreglass "jungle" buttstock on it, left the Ramline handgaurd that came with it on, and swapped in an Albanian hook style bolt carrier. I like. I've even had a guy offer me an M1 carbine for it.

The round's reputation in the field is horrible.
