WHC is sponsored by CVA/Powerbelt and so is the other forum they mentioned.

Notice how the gel block showed very little temporary distortion in the slow motion video.

Did you see them mention the fps at impact?

You can have all this for $25/15 plus the cost of the Optima V2 pistol or a greatly reduced load from a rifle.
I also noticed the shot was taken very close, and is probably equal to a more realistic longer shot. Why is that ok when Ron does it? More fps would have just added more penetration, and a bit more expansion. It went 5 inches before expanding at all.
