Thought for the Day

My one and only comment on the ‘new’ fragmenting  bullet that’s making the rounds:

Show me footage of a disinterested third party suspending a hog carcass, dressed in a tee shirt and light jacket, in front of a movement scale, then shooting 13 rounds of it into the porker’s chest from 7 yards away. I want to see how much the thing moves when shot, then I want to see footage of a dissection of the hog to show how the bullets did against clothing, skin, bone, and soft tissue.

Until that happens, I’m not interested in debating  something the good idea fairy thought up while snorting blow off of the Duke Nukem  project manager’s butt.

    I’d be happy to see just ONE round of it in a meaningful test.

    I still wouldn’t switch ammo, though.

    So you noticed how much of that special tactical saw-yness was left in the first 5″ of that ballistics gel too, huh?

    Let’s go even more ‘real world’…have someone use a single round from a typical carry pistol to dispatch a trapped feral hog.

    Should be an excellent test of actual performance.
