According to this, the 357 SIG produces a 0.65" diameter permanent wound tract using FMJ-FP ammunition. I do not feel that this is factual. Is this calculator flawed? It looks like a really neat calculator, but...
*Of course, as velocity drops, so does the permanent cavity, so I understand that it won't be .65" all the way through, and as I recall, my former roommate (when he had an ND with this exact load) did have a hole in his thigh of approximately .65"
**For those interested, the weapon was fired in a thin-walled appartment, it did not alarm/register with my other roommate who was 1 bathroom (2-walls or hollow-core doors) away. Was a muscle/flesh wound only, he did suffer some neuropathy that mostly reversed. He was ambulatory after the GSW and reports only a sensation of "shock" and "concern" upon seeing the blood. Later he was ambulatory with consideral discomfort (after adrenaline wore off). Weapon was a G32, accident occured during removal of slide. Round used was WWB 125gr FMJ-FP.
hmmm...
Thoughts about this calculator?
