There is another test that they do, when they put sheets up, and then a water jug, and then bricks. The XM193 broke the bricks, but didn't make it all the way through. Most importantly about that test, is they said it was inconsistent. The next time they shot it, it didn't make it to the bricks.
Either way, I'm not as surprised with FMJ 5.56, but I was really surprised how far some of those handgun rounds penetrated, especially being that they were HP. I'm still making my way through some of their other "box o' whatevers".... makes me want to do some of my own testing next time I go shooting.
