    not really man. a well placed shot is most important, but stopping your aggressor is priority. if you hit center mass with an fmj, its a high probability they will be able to withstand a few shots for a little while. could be the difference of having to dodge them firing back ya know? they could very well be firing at you as well, so stopping the attack as soon as possible is a big deal. hollow points do more damage and the absolute best choice for a carry weapon; also less probability of over penetration and injuring someone behind your target. although i tend to not worry too much about over penetration since only a small percentage of shots fired even hit the target, your misses go zooming right by anyway.
