IIRC, the overpenetration issue vis a vis is penetrating through a human target with enough energy to penetrate into another human. Penetrating building materials was not a consideration.
You're telling me you see no practical benefit to being able to fire twice as many individual shots without reloading from a gun someone already owns, without making any modifications to the gun? ...
You don't think this issue could be engineer for? This would not be some handloaded round someone would be mixing up in their basement. Everything that's part of the round (bullets, case, primers,...
And you know this, how? The company that came up with Metal Storm did something pretty similar. But they went even farther (several rounds stacked together caselessly, in one barrel.)
No, a new revolver design would not be necessary. You're still missing the point. A DA revolver cylinder rotates one chamber with each pull of the trigger. It will do this whether the round fires...
The idea, if it could be made to work, would NOT require a special revolver. The idea is that any existing .357 magnum revolver could fire the round.
And yes, the ammo would be significantly...
Just to make sure you actually understand what I'm suggesting, a shot shell fires all it's projectiles at once. The round I'm discussing would fire one projectile with one strike of the primer, then...
It's an electric primer, so it could be embedded in the propellant. It would likely be blown out when the first charge fires.
You do realize, that if it is viable, and someone would consider developing it as a product, it would go through a full R&D, testing and productionization process, correct? If it didn't work...
That explicitly what I DON'T want. This is NOT a shot shell. It should only fire one projectile per trigger pull. But it can be fired twice.
I have an idea how that will work. The big trick will be to get the primer behind the first projectile to go off when the piezo thingy in the primer pocket gets hit by the firing pin without setting...
I know about Metal Storm, this is the same basic concept. My big difference is that I'm trying to implement is in a way that could work with existing revolvers, and not require a new gun built...
Would the balls fire both at once, or individually, on with each pull of the trigger. I'm talking about the latter.
LOL. I should have anticipated this reponse :)
Take a .357 magnum case and set it up so that it can fire two bullets, not simultaneously, but one with each strike of the primer. So if someone has a 6-shot .357 Magnum revolver, it can now fire 12...
That's interesting and useful. I was thinking this would be a 1150-1175 f/s round out of the barrel lengths I'm interested in.
A number of the better name 9mm 124 grain JHP loadings on the market will hit 1150-1175 f/s out of 3.6-3.7" barrels. All the usual suspects come to mind (HST, Gold Dot, etc.) Are there any that...
What does everyone think about the Hornady Critical Defense .38 spl 110 gr +P. It seems to do relatively well in tests (compared to loads like most 158gr LSWC +P).
Giving this thread a bump for some longer term reviews. This gun has been out now for a while.
SIG has since released it's XMacro (comped) and XMacro Tac Ops versions of the P365. Size and...
I'd love to see some tests done using the properly constructed IWBA procedures / materials. I wonder if there's new thinking on terminal ballistics that's going into the newer designs. They seem to...
You might want go through the play list linked below. It's a series of 9mm ammo tests done with a SIG P938. I think that gun has the same 3.1" barrel. It's surprising how well a lot of the...
It seems like a lot of badly collected data and anecdotal observations. But a lot of wound ballistics is like that. Well collected data is hard to come by.
Also, she's looking at fatalities. A...
I'd like to see the new 9mm 147gr HST. These changed the bullet design not long ago, so a lot of the older tests are no longer valid. I'd also like to see 9mm tested out of a 3.5-ish inch barrel. ...
If you carry a gun, you just have to price in that you'll likely be sued if you shoot someone, even if it's legitimate self defense. The type of ammo you use will be a minor issue (if an issue at...
