[QUOTE="aestus, post: 2208788, member: 2989"] I believe the reason why he used the +P ammo is to keep parity with NATO rounds that the military uses. Nato 9mm is equivalent to 9mm +P. Basically just a way to show the difference of FMJ military rounds vs JHP's that non military has access to. Brass Fetcher is known for his scientific ballistic gel tests and does this professionally for government agencies. I assume the reason why he created a simulant body out of gel is because it's transparent. You are able to see temporary cavity and effects in real time with the camera. I've seen shots done with meat and even when things are pointed out, it's hard to tell what the effects of the round and tissue damage are. With transparent gel, it's obvious what's going on. As for the 1:12 twist, I agree. I wish he had used 1:9 and 1:7. I would imagine that the only difference it really would have made is that it the 55grain m193 round would be less effective and probably wouldn't have much effect on the TSX round. As for pistol vs shotgun, that's a whole other debate that's worthy of a separate thread :) [/QUOTE]
