Now, that being said, the Barnes bullets can and sometimes do have one or more petals break off with very high velocity impacts such as those that can occur at close ranges with modern super-magnum rounds. The good news is that the petals won't break up any further, and being made of copper, they are non-toxic (unless you're a microorganism, that is! ).
