LAMB BONE TEST

I was curious to see if my 12ftlb fenman .22 could penetrate bone,as lamb bone is the closest density to human bone i thought i would give it a try as i have run out of HUUUMAN BONE:( :),i done some research and found out that the human skull at the front is about 10mm thick but other areas are less,this bone was about 4mm so i dont think a standard pellet would penetrate a human skull as the pellet is too soft and would just collapse on impact but maybe a SABOT round will do the trick but you cant get those anymore so when i get the time maybe i'll have a go at making some all i need now is some human skulls!!! ONLY JOKING!!! NO REALLY I AM!!
Why do i want to see if a 12ftlb rifle can penetrate a human skull well im just very curious about many things and this is one:)

@TamrynRimfire cheers mate , i done this for a laugh just to see what a pellet could do to bone......not a lot X) i may have to do this with my promethius SN2's and see how they fare :)

Im a hunter myself, but the smallest we are allowed to hunt with here in Norway is a 22 cal. Ive heard about you guys in britain actually hunting with BB guns. Is that legal in the UK? I like your insect vids too, ever thought about studying Entomology?

[ARCEYE78]

No BB guns are definatly not for hunting but you do get the odd fool using them,as you know theyre not accurate enough & in most cases not powerful enough for a clean kill although i have seen some impressive vids with a modified DROZD machine pistol with extended barrel & external bottle which puts out more than enough power & very accurate considering the BB ammo,as for insects i find them so interesting but i dont really have the time to study at mo but will do soon,glad you liked the vids :)

if ye go to your local butcher i'm sure he'll give ye a few nice ones, i often get them for my dogs.

[ARCEYE78]

yeah good idea i have some new pellets to try promethius air bullets which are made from tin so in theory they should go through easier :)

[pinhead1304]

nice, i'm looking forward to it.

[ARCEYE78]

Yes very good point, not sure the missus will appreciate me ripping out the bone before cooking though :)

cooked bones are way weaker than raw ones try using raw bones

[ARCEYE78]

yeah from what i remember they did look lethal you just know those feckers aint gonna stop for no-one just a little small though a .25 sabot round would be ok as then the projectile would be around the .22 size mmmm lethal, ive never used hollow points as the lack of down range accuracy is no good for me but if i ever get the chance to shoot rats then those will b the type i'll use
