FMJ, is just, basic, ball ammunition
most modern ammunition as far as I'm aware is FMJ; in the case of handguns, JHP hollow point functions worse in a penetration standpoint because that's its function, to not over penetrate, not because it isnt coated in a metal jacket
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow-point_bullet
and a tendency to over penetrate a unarmored target, doesn't necessarily mean it has better penetration

basically what I believe is if you think .45 colt is going to go through so much as a frying pan stapled to the forehead of a tribal you're probably wrong no matter the ammunition without some luck or several follow up shots; AP ammo or not its not practical, think smaller, 9mm or rifle caliber for penetration, like the rest of the world did
I guess take me speechin with some salt, Im not even close to an expert with this stuff; dont know much about powders and grains and whatnow
