Thanks for the knowledge brother!

Have ya tried similar tests with pistol calibers? I assume the same principle of bonded heavier pistol caliber bullets would perform better than lighter faster bullets.

I think I read somewhere that 357 sig bonded ammo performed better through car doors and glass than 9mm rounds of the same weight but slower speed.

That would make sense. Same bullet, but faster.

Very interesting tests! If you had access to a super high speed camera, it would be neat to film the bullets impacting the glass and observe the tumbling and spalling.

Have you done any testing with ballistic gel to test penetration/expansion/wound cavity?

Not without the government footing the bill. I got to participate in some excellent testing a while back, but I signed a NDA.

very good read, thanks. I was of the belief the more rounds I could put in the vehicle the better chance to end it
