Various bullet types/sizes split in half. Pretty neat, actually, even for us libby-lib-vaginas.

Clicky

Cool visual, but is there a way of knowing exactly the bullet types are? I'm not a gun expert.

That's some bad shit right there.

Don't know the first one from the left but it could be depleted Uranium due to the plum color of the metal. 2nd is a SPIW (Special Purpose Individual Weapon) Flechette round - didn't pan out. The last one is a multiple round. Aka "Triplex".

Here is a brief vid of a Duplex working in gelatin

First one looks like a form of Glaser safety slug. Much more devastating than the "black talon".

Amongst the rest is a FMJ pistol round and what looks like an old school rimmed round with lead bullet.

Andreas Grabinsky discusses gun trauma. It's ugly.

I think it is clear that Gene is a gun guy; thanks for the information, as a math & physics nerd those videos are amazing.

I'm watching the Dr. video, now.

That video was awesome, nice little overview of handgun impacts and trauma practices.

I heard him mention Harborview and looked him up: he is indeed a doc at UW/Hbv. That's a pretty neat facility, I've been in one of the UW facilities but never in the trauma/ER area.

pretty cool. gonna have to share that one.
