Who said it wasn't? Who said it was? The only thing I said regarding Preformance was that a defense round or frangible round would be considered a failure if it exited the body as it's designed to do the opposite.
Wheres the bull in that?
The terminology is a description of the design and purpose not a prognostication regarding its terminal performance.
Dont confuse the powdered metal or compressed metal type frag rounds for partitioned rounds. The prior have been pretty much inadequate in stopping depending on placement or some would say luck. The fact it comes apart so quickly after it encounters resistance in the body is why the concept is becoming popular for steel or indoor shooting. Kinda like bird shot low brass target ammo for self defense. It may make a bloody wound but a shallow one that disappoints on stopping power.
The partition rounds may be a different story depending again on placement and design. Parts may stay big enough for penetration while other part or parts may then enhance bleeding or do nothing at all. Actual shootings will tell the tale on the latter.
