The powerpoint slide I saw seems to imply that it breaks into 2 pieces when it hits a windshield, so I imagine it'd do the same when impacting a person. If the slug is made of copper, then it probably won't fragment. The bismuth-tin slug might however.
That said, it seems like a good "general-purpose" round, just not the amazing wonder-round the press release makes it seem.
