As we know bullets (talking about lower speed lead from pistols and shotguns) often strike combatants in the arms and hands.
Has anyone ever tested the effect?
We know pistol velocity stretch cavities dont mean anything on most tissues, but they do when they exceed the capability of the mass struck to contain it.
Not a scientist but you know what I mean. A pistol stretch cavity doesn't mean much against a human torso but can grenade a rabbit. So what about human limbs?
I realize it would be a little difficult with synthetic substances trying to replicate skin, muscle, and bone. Perhaps shooting something like raw meat with skin on a bone? Like a deer leg? Of course there be a hoof and no hand.
Just curious what the difference would be between say, a 147 gr Gold Dot and a 127 gr Ranger T? Or .40 FMJ vs a 155 gr JHP? Or 00 buck vs 9mm jhp? .38 special HST vs .357 125 gr Golden Saber from a snub revolver?
Just a thought.
