"What? Martin Fackler's research found that the 'theory' (as in not a LAW) of hydrostatic shock was disproven, and that any sort of pressure wave that may be created by a bullet does nothing to aid in incapacitation or injury. Moreover, it is a commonly known fact amoung people who study terminal ballistics (which is really a fairly new field of reseach) that shockwaves do not occur, nor pass through incompressable fluids (water)."

...Deleted by CalHunter...You believe that shockwaves do not pass through incompressable fluids (water)? There are a lot of dead Germans that wish that BS was true.... please explain how a Depth charge actually works?

Marty Fackler worked on the research and development of this technology, I never mentioned 'hydrostatic shock' in any of my posts. I specifically referred to "tissue damage" some like to call the "permanent wound".

Getting back to what is real, the bullet engineer can use core compression to tailor the round to the penetration profile he desires with this technology. For example:




There is no truth to the statement that these bullets are designed to 'disintegrate on impact'. Tungsten is much harder than lead, and about 25 percent denser than lead in these type of bullets. Even the lightest compressed cores that I have tested easily penetrate the front shoulder bone of the largest North American Big Game. I specifically look for a quartering towards me shot opportunity so I can blow bone fragments into the lung area when using this bullet technology.
