Rumors
had it that the .30 Carbine had problems
penetrating the thick clothing of the North
Koreans during the Korean War.
Let's see what happens.
The
bullet, a military Ball, went through the
entire box set-up, blew up the water jug,
and flattened itself out against the solid
concrete block, knocking out a big chunk
of cement.
Then
the favorite of AR15.com,
the AR15 (what else?).
Using XM-193.
And
what a fine job it did.
This is the first pine board.
Notice the hole by the bullet tip.
It was traveling sideways.
We
felt that we needed some "control"
rounds to compare with the first results.
We shot the .357 Mag again, without the
clothing in front of the jug.
Notice the prefectly mushroomed bullet on
the left that was recovered, as compared
to the first one on the right.
