Did this bullet fragment? It looks like it in the video but i can't tell for sure.

@jeracci Near-total fragmentation on this shot.

You have an account number or P.O.Box address? I'll transfer / mail in a contribution / donation. This is excellent information that your making available here... Tnx's. btw Could you turn the black of gel around and lets see the same test but with the 17MACH2 / 17HM2. Thanks again. Well Done.

@1shot2kilu Please support our sponsors, that would be the best way.

@0:11 You can see cavitation at the rear of the block no where near the entry or bullet. Can be a good argument for hydro-static shock advocates.

[BrassFetcher]

@QuattroStig That's actually the sonic wave moving through the block. We've got an upcoming test detailing this as a wounding effect.

[ktktwix]

@MrRhowind no, it will cause the case to rupture.

[aftercolumbia]

For such a tiny projectile, that looks really painful!

@QuattoStig

No, not Wikipedia save for the handy quote.

My experience comes from -25 years in a metropolitan Detroit trauma center, which teaches all one needs to know about wound ballistics and hydrostatic shock.

[QuattroStig]

@docmordrid I do understand that but not many people believe in it. (I do). I see you have been on wikipedia.

@MrRhowind no
