"Inceptor"-- because nobody can spell.
"Hydraulic ram effect"..... ayup.
There is a little-spoken thing about ballistic get testing: Skin doesn't act like gel. As this presentation describes, skin is equivalent to 4" of gel. So a bullet that does most of its damage in the first six inches won't probably do what you need it to do, unless you happen to hit the liver.
Look at a diagram of the human body-- as an opponent faces you, the things that you need to hit often are towards the rear of the body, where they are somewhat protected by the spine. Hydraulic damage isn't probably going to help much if you shoot someone in the lungs, for obvious reasons.
And what happens, pray tell, if you fire those fancy bullets out of a 1911? A fair number of them have left-hand twist barrels, which will turn those fancy-ass hydro-bullets the wrong way.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.

ReplyDeleteLooks similar in concept to the Lehigh XP
ReplyDeleteShootingTheBull410 did some Gel-Testing of them in .380

Which, there might be something to them in .380 -they seem to do more damage, even deep in the Gel block. - In 9mm I seem to recall that they grossly over penetrate - although I can't find that at this point.
I don't think it makes much difference, if any, what you fire out of a 1911. Whoever you hit is gonna have a major hurtin' goin' on.
