Re: Debunk the Bullshit!
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: McCrazy</div><div class="ubbcode-body">That being said however, looks at this from a physics point of view: Mega stated the important factors earlier of a slightly heavier bullet than a .40 travelling significantly faster than a .40 which means this .50GI has significantly more muzzle energy than the .40. That this round came to a stop in the BG after such a short penetration means that it managed to transfer all of it's energy into the BG very quickly which means a significant amount of trauma had to occur. </div></div>
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Switchblade45</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Hmmm, typical man measures somewhere between 10" - 14" from sternum to spine. 9" of penetration by a .50 that expands to 1" will cause a lot of hydastatic shock.
In the cavity of the gel, note the larger opening as well as the cracks that illuminate from center outward around the expanded point. That has to be a radiation of somewhere around 5 - 6 inches.
That is where that big bullet shines. It causes major havoc inside. You are talking about major movement and trauma to the heart, liver, lungs, spleen, possibly kidneys. </div></div>
I was hoping someone was going to catch and figure out the dynamic physics aspect to the ballistics "chart" I posted.
I owe you both a beer.
Well, let's see now...
And now with the help of an ultrasophisticated plotting and marking application (MS Paint
)
<span style="color: #FF0000">RED </span> is the permanant wound cavity
<span style="color: #33CCFF">BLUE </span> is the temporary wound cavity
<span style="color: #33FF33">GREEN </span> highlights the ruler under the block. I see about 8 3/8" of penetration
Anyone care to guess what happens to anything that was previously occupying the <span style="color: #33CCFF">BLUE </span>area before impact? The temporary cavity is just that. Temporary. Anything residing there, heart, lungs, arterys, veins, etc, are going to blown out away from the point of energy dumping. These "items" will also be blown into anything situated OUTSIDE of the temporary cavity, i.e. : ribs, diaphragm, trachea, etc. Think they will just spring back into their original positions unharmed? Want a good demonstration? Fill up a tub with water, and slap the surface as hard as you can.
That round dumped all of it's energy in a span of only about 4 to 4 1/2 inches. That is a MASSIVE energy expenditure, in a very short distance, with a very large diameter radiating shockwave (about 6 1/2").
Bottom line?
I'll even lose the big technical words.
That bullet will straight fuck you up.

Interesting. I see a few "serious" posts concerning that round in this thread. You don't?
