I know where thats at... I think thats my old computer.

[Repo777]

I'm sorry ComPrt3, it IS your old computer. It was the only way to fix it. It's in a better place now. :-)

Respond to this video... but yeah, hitting vitals is USUALLY a sure thing. freak zombie deer aside.. lol

[KurNorock]

@stewpidaso26 shot placement IS most important, but you would be surprised how something can survive when a bullet just doesn't perform right.  a 30-06 is a hell of a rifle on deer, but a FMJ at 1200 yards will zip right through the heart and cause almost no damage. seen it happen. (I wasn't the one shooting) the deer was shot by a different hunter several days later. that is the only reason we found out it was hit the first time. the little hole just closed up from muscle contraction.

@KurNorock very true. mushrooming and yawning are good things when a bullet hits flesh. but shot placement is the most important you can do with a bullet. performance of a bullet is just like a perk. hitting the vitals is a pretty sure thing

@KurNorock

I agree with everything you said.

[KurNorock]

@MedicPatriot - That is because the government is trying to fix something that wasn't broken. They made the M855 round to penetrate trees and other cover (not that there are than many trees in Iraq or Afghanistan) and they began using the M4 with a barrel too short to get the projectile up to the required speeds needed to get the yaw and fragmentation effect.

[MedicPatriot]

@KurNorock

not with the M855 the military uses. It punches right through

[MedicPatriot]

@cnknguyen

thats because the military uses the M855 rounds designed for better penetration, they don't tumble as easy as M193.

[KurNorock]

@cnknguyen - Actually the .223 caliber is its MOST deadly at ranges under 300 yards. Ideally under 250 yards. Because of the high speed and light weight of the bullets, they tend to yaw on impact and fragment creating massive tissue damage and large wound channels. It was specifically designed to behave this way to try to mimic the effect of hollow point rounds which were made illegal it use in war by the Geneva Convention.

After 300-350 yards is when it just punches through...

What was the distance?
