As many have posted before me, it's all about shot placement. That being said, however, I seen the autopsy of an assailant who was shot by Pennsylvania PD officers at 25 feet with 180 gr. Speer Gold Dots and that round failed miserably. The assailant was ultimately taken down with 75 gr. Hornady TAP rounds from an AR. I'll post the pic below of the round that hit the assailant in the neck and failed to penetrate or expand properly.
Cool photo. A bullet coming to rest near your spine is never going to amount to a good day for the guy being shot.
