Raw meat shot at a temp of 36 degrees F.
round 9 mm frangible.  raw meat 86 degrees F same round, same pistol  seems to be a big difference. |

It's a new round composition being tested (but don't remember who developed it). It is designed to expand (and I think to fragment) in flesh above 85 degrees.

all rounds are variable in their effect. sometimes the hollowpoint fills in and acts like a fmj.
other times it will open nicely and others it fragments. could be the meat was pulverized by the first round and flew apart on the second - the first might not have fragged. |

Is that one of the RCBD or LeMas rounds?

Either way, "That's gonna leave a mark!"

If the photo shoot is the real deal, seems a excellent round for home defense uses.
edit to add: I do not buy into the Ayoob, be careful not to shoot them too hard, or you will be sued concept. |

I think this is a gimmick. Dramatic, but ultimately of little merit.
First, 36 deg. F is barely above freezing (32 deg. F). What does it really mean to compare shooting frozen meat to, well, shooting lukewarm meat. Second, if all you were interested in shooting was 10 pound chunks of meat, that'd be the cat's meow. Matter of fact, maybe *cats* would be an ideal test medium for this round! [;D] A 150 to 250 pound human is constructed a *little* differently than a 10# hunk of cow muscle. It seems 10% ordinance gelatin is likely to best simulate human tissue in assessing bullet effectiveness. See this thread at TacForums for a much better discussion than I could ever offer...

how can you be sure the photos were taken at the same time after impact in each case?

Ya'l are warm, so to speak, as to the different effects shown.
First pic of nearly frozen meat (remember the high water content of flesh) so it's going to be like shooting a block of ice, almost. Or bone. Pic 2 is a result of the expansion effect that's talked about in wound cavities. Warm flesh now has a ton of elasticity and the shock of the bullet caused the shown effect. Think abdominal cavity. Dramatic? Eh, I'd too would rather see ballistic gelatin. |

Yep. It's the RBCD thing again...
Here's their .223 round... note that 25 centimeters is 10". Not much penetration for a .223! [img]http://www.lemasltd.com/1Shot/Image40.gif[/img] |
