Umm...Okay, so what does bullet x will penetrate 6 inches into ballistics gel mean in practical terms, cause I don't have a clue? We can play the same game with plate steel, pine bark, pillow cases, and telephone books. It sounds cool to say bullet x will penetrate 1/4 inch plate steel, but I still don't know what that really means.
I do have a pretty good idea what bullet x will penetrate type II body armor from a range of 10 ft means. I know that because type II body armor has very specific and easily found specs for what it will protect against. Hence, body armor penetration makes for a convenient and easily understood reference. Sorry if it's "creepy", but you really should stop being so easily bothered by reasonable conversation.
