@derekscammon I totally agree... Glasers and Magsafes are pretty much a gimmick. Lethal? Capable of incapacitating an attacker? Sure...but as reliably as a high-end modern JHP? Not at all.

@Drizztmarco You just don't know what you're talking about. Google "glaser" and "wound" and do an image search, and some of the first pics you'll find are of a guy shot in the arm with a Glaser. He survived. In fact, I've done x-rays on patients with worse wounds from smaller-caliber rounds.

People talking about if this bullet can reach your heart, etc etc etc, it doesn't matter. Even if you got hit in the hand by this round, you would die from the shock just from the damage output it would create from every one of those lead balls bouncing around.

[Drizztmarco]

@roentgen571 Even if it doesn't hit the heart, the shock of the damage it puts out to soft tissue even is enough to kill a man fairly quick.

[Drizztmarco]

@roentgen571 You dont seem to understand. if you'd hit someone with a glaser round in the hand they would die from the shock form the sheer damage. It's a fiarly fast death aswell. It's no gimmick it it lethal and dangerous.

@Erik0072 would I want to be shot with any bullet period? nooo.

@xmike8259x Anyone who says .40 is weak doesn't know what they're talking about. It's a little bit more powerful than 9mm P, and has similar terminal performance. It's "weak" compared to magnum or rifle loads, but it's pretty solid as a handgun round.

[derekscammon]

@roentgen571 You are right, but with Glasers, the water is muddied by the fact that the bullet doesn't act the same hitting bone as it does hitting ballistic gel. I'll never use them, because it seems clear to me that expecting a bullet which is designed for minimal penetration in walls and other barriers to reliably penetrate heavy clothing, bone, and muscle is irrational. This theory is borne out in field reports from shootings, as well as the fact that no major LEO agency uses them.

damn, uhhh they say its a weak round..... well after watching this im thinking of a .40 for a ccw
