Hollowpoint shot through a gel block

That was from Barnes. You can get a free copy of their DVD, "Bullet Myths Busted," from their Website at http://www.barnesbullets.com/. Some very cool stuff on there.

That's from the Barnes website: http://www.barnesbullets.com/informatio ... eed-video/
180gr .308 @297fps, according to the site. Not exactly the sort of performance you can expect from a concealable weapon.
Check out the Varmint Grenades vs fruit videos on their site; I'm really starting to want to try some of those bullets.

But the human body isn't a gel..its got muscle, bones, other organs, and have very fibrous and tough clothing covering it...those really cool ballistic gel shots are cool..but do they represent an actual shot on a human target?
Its cool to see..but don't think its 100% perfect (what is in a shooting situation right?)

Do they bust the myths of their own website, where it said the various bullet "exploded on impact" with seedless grapes and cherry tomatoes?Skiprr wrote:That was from Barnes.

The fruit sure exploded, but the bullets didn't.
