MagSafe ammo was designed with the concept of magnum performance with safety. The core is made of #2 or #3 shotgun lead pellets, stacked by hand, in specific patterns, and stabilized by a custom blend of epoxy resins. Bullets can be designed for deeper penetration, wider wound channel, some even to break apart in sheetrock walls. The use of larger pellets definitely reduce the ricochet hazard, and because of its light weight, bullets are much faster with less recoil. Swat loads: safest for home defense. Low recoil and wall penetration. Massive kinetic energy dump.

Designed by Winchester and introduced by Winchester and Smith & Wesson in 1990, the 40 S&W was designed as a "compromise" semiautomatic pistol cartridge that would offer more performance than the 9mm Luger (9x19)…but would produce less recoil and allow higher magazine capacity than the 45 ACP. Few compromises in the firearms world have ever worked as well. From a manufacturing standpoint many pistols designed for the 9mm could be re-engineered to handle the larger cartridge; in a short time it has become a standard issue in the law enforcement community. Using a .400-inch bullet of from 135 to 180 grains from a .850-inch cae, the .40 S&W produces up to 1205 fps, and although recoil is greater than the 9mm, it is easier to shoot than the 45 ACP, and its greater velocity and smaller bullet diameter aid penetration. — Craig Boddington
