Even if there are bullets that don't breech the hull, what happens when a shot is fired in a very enclosed space where there are lots of innocent people around? Riccochets? Bullets that pass thru the terrorist or another type of criminal?

Innocent (collateral) casualties in such circumstances will be seen as unfortunate, perhaps unavoidable, but acceptable. Just hope it doesn't happen to you or a loved one.

There are various projectiles that do should not richochet or go through the body, but will incapacitate, which is the objective.
