I wish I could find the old article about this, it appeared back in the 80's when the US military was looking to replace the 1911 with someone's 9mm.

The Germans found out over a century ago that a flat pointed FMJ was far and away more effective than any round nose bullet. The one they tried was basically a truncated cone shape with what today we would call a tiny meplat. Don't know why they never adopted it and kept the round nose configuration.

Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
