Ballistic Effects |

Got emailed this fairly interesting video a while back which |
|
goes through the process of demonstrating the effects of common |
|
rounds from 9mm to 50 cal on targets using a 15 gallon water |
|
drum as the end target. Found it to be rather interesting, |
|
especially when comparing the smaller end of the spectrum to |
|
some of the medium and high caliber weapons and the shear |
|
devastation that they can cause. Remember, the target weight is |
|
approximately 125 pounds plus the weight of the drum. |

Thanks. I agree, I'm all for staying on the grip end of any |
|
weapon and out of the sight picture. As my CCW instructor put |
|
it, "If you want to carry a .22 as your concealed carry weapon, |
|
I'm perfectly fine with that. Is it the most powerful weapon on |
|
the market or the ideal self-defense caliber? No. But I promise |
|
you, you get hit with 3 or 4 of them bad boys and it's bound to |
|
mess up your day!" |
