Looking at this nasty little thing on the always interesting Aaaaarghh! Led me to many more pics of bullet shapes after impact: terminal 9mm_Luger. Far from the smooth projectile Hollywood has led so many to believe in... I see they've added 'The Buick of truth' to the original site: http://www.theboxotruth.com/ Great stuff.
I've seen Roy Rogers shoot a lock off many times. All things are possible in the movies. I recently read the .303 Brit. terminal ballistics tests at Box O Truth. I always wondered why I'd discover a flattened or bent bullet on occasion in the sand backstop at the range when shooting my old wreck of a Lee-Enfield Mk. III. Now I know. I shoot South African military surplus ball made in the 1980s, 174-grain ( I think) bullets. Great ammo., and the SMLE keeps on soldiering. JT

Was that a Darwin Award candidate? Sounds about right. Either that or he's the victim of too many adventure novels and movies. JT
