A: Thanks for reaching out Christian! The answer is yes. As a matter of fact, this is fundamentally the same ammunition that national armies would assign for combat. THAT SAID, I highly recommend using high-quality jacketed hollow point (JHP) ammo for self-defense. It's more reliable, so you're less likely to have a failure to feed, fire or extract when your life's at stake. The JHP expands to inflict more damage to the threat. It is also less likely to pass through the threat, which reduces the chance of over-penetration that could jeopardize innocent bystanders. In short, use FMJ ammo for training; use ammo like this for self-defense: https://www.luckygunner.com/9mm-124-grain-jhp-hst-federal-premium-le-50-round
