My brain tells me that 2200-2300 fps, is well 2200-2300fps, and that even without the flutes must produce a lot more damage than a 9mm at 1100-1200 fps.





but
Not necessarily. Bullets pushed to 5kfps produced pinholes when there was no bullet upset.

I suspect the flutes may cause tearing in certain tissues from the temp cavity, but id like to see real professional tests. That said - I find the idea interesting.
