What is the primary factor in determining personal protection ammunition performance?

Caliber size
Bullet weight
Expansion capability
Brand

The correct answer is: Expansion capability

Personal protection ammunition performance is determined by a variety of factors, such as caliber size, bullet weight, and brand. However, the primary factor in determining performance is the expansion capability of the bullet. This refers to the bullet's ability to expand upon impact, which results in a larger surface area and more force being applied to the target. Caliber size and bullet weight may also play a role in performance, but they are secondary factors compared to expansion capability. As for brand, while it can influence the quality and consistency of the ammunition, it is not the determining factor in performance.
