The reduced over-penetration and reduced ricochet characteristics of these rounds are nothing short of revolutionary. Over-penetration is minimized as the complete energy of the bullet, including the fragmented bullet itself are typically contained within the target. In the unlikely event an armed assailant were to survive a center mass hit, the risk to EMS personnel is reduced because Extreme Shock doesn't leave the many glove-shredding, razor sharp fragments of traditional rounds. The Extreme Shock round disintegrates when it hits hard targets such as many interior walls and airplane skins, but retains astonishing stopping power on organic targets. Its capability for inside-the-aircraft anti-terrorism operations is legendary within the special operations community.
