"Attention: The following information is from a book titled “The Semi Automatic Pistol in Police Service”
 by Author Massad Ayoob.** 
 
GECO "Blitz Action Trauma" or B.A.T.  9mm rounds from Germany are a proven man-stopping design. Called the "GECO Action Safety" in Europe, high velocity (1400 feet per second) lightweight (86 grain) hollow bullet is very reliable and successful on the street. Has been by used "GSG9"  in their MP-5's.
These are no longer available in the U.S
The Dynamit Nobel 86 Grain Action Safety bullets was sold under the company name and marketed as "Blitz Action Trauma(BAT)" ammunition. 
Originally designed as an anti-terrorist round after the '72 Munich Olympics it consists of a 86 grain, solid copper, hollow point with a round plastic nose cap. The RN insured feed reliability, but was ejected from the projectile upon exiting the barrel, rolling out of the way of the actual bullet path. No longer in production or imported.
The West German counterterrorist unit GSG-9 requested its government to come up with a 9mm. Parabellum cartridge suitable for both auto pistols and submachine guns that would stay inside the human body, give dramatic stopping power, deliver excellent tactical penetration, and still feed in military weapons designed only for the reliable cycling of ball ammunition.
Amazingly, the Government did so.
Geco, the West German ammo division of Dynamit-Nobel, came up with a 9mm Luger cartridge originally called the GAS (Geco Action Safety) round. 
The U.S. importer gave it a most unfortunate name for
public marketing purposes:
This ammo was allegedly adopted by special units of FBI, Secret Service, and British SAS. 
Neither the manufacturer nor the distributor, however, could confirm any actual shootings of human beings with it.
Meanwhile, our tests showed that it would (a) feed through any 9mm. Parabellum weapon that would feed hardball, including the Browning Hi-Power and every submachine gun tried; (b) travelled at over 1,400 feet per second out of a 4" barrel
We were skeptical, since no actual shootings had been documented.
However, a trip to Venezuela to train police in 1985 filled out the data base. While teaching under the auspices of senior members of DISIP, Venezuela's internal security police, I learned that their SWAT teams and heavy duty felony response units used the BAT in their Browning pistols and Uzi and Mini-Uzi submachine guns. 
I was given access to some 73 documented gunshot wounds with the GAS/BAT round, most with submachine guns but including at least six with the 5" barrel pistol.
None of the bullets had exited, except for peripheral hits that were glancing wounds. All bullets had opened in the standard BAT pattern and stayed inside the body. All perpetrators had gone down instantly after being shot. Survival rate was very low.
One X-ray showed a typically expanded BAT slug in the midst of a human thoracic vertebra. The vertebra resembled a fistful of matchsticks; it had been "shivered" vertically, something I have never seen even with high-power rifle wounds. 
The standard pattern of the BAT bullet - a solid brass projectile with a deep hollow cavity that is filled by a plastic insert to create a round-nose cartridge shape for good feeding - is for the plastic nose cap to be blown off as soon as the projectile leaves the muzzle.
The now cup-pointed slug strikes, still spinning from the rifling. As the hollow cavity fills with flesh, its thin walls peel back into flat, sharp-edged fingers that slice like a fan as the bullet passes through soft tissue and, typically, half of those "fingers" will shear off during passage, sometimes more, sometimes less. 
The result is a significant
wound and excellent stopping characteristics.
When hard barricade material is encountered, the hard brass edges of the brass bullet tend to bite in like a cookie cutter, ripping through and hitting like a flat-nose wadcutter when the bullet finally encounters flesh.
The writer furnished BAT ammo to his chief of police, who carried a short-barrel S&W model 669 duty pistol. In two shootings of animals, he was quite impressed. An injured deer that had to be humanely destroyed was shot with the BAT at close range, and the side of its head exploded outward, with no actual bullet exit. A pit bull coming at the Chief was shot in the center of the forehead and stopped instantly: finger-thick jets of blood and cerebrospinal fluid were observed to spurt from both ears. Seconds after the animal had collapsed and died from the immediate stop, a witness shouted, "My God, what did you hit him with?" The bullet had lodged safely inside the skull.
