Some layers may be penetrated, but as the bullet deforms the energy is absorbed by a larger and larger area of fibers, as shown in Fig. 10.1 (McConnell, 2006). Sign in to download full-size image 10.1. Tests of the energy dispersion pattern in a combat helmet made from Honeywell’s ...
I’m afraid I’ve not shot the P99 AS, so I can’t give you any reasonable comparison. Sorry! Reply Rebellivesmattersays: October 12, 2015 at 2:25 pm This gun is amazingly accurate. During my CHL range testing a fellow classmate was shooting through the same bullet hole on...
Superior JHP bullets are available in .38 Special loads and the top .38 "stopper" recorded by Marshall and Sanow, at 83%, was the Cor-Bon +P load using a 115 grain JHP bullet. Unfortunately, there was no equivalent standard pressure load available for comparison. The 9mm and .45 loads...
I, for one, cannot think of too many. The basic design principle of the 1911 centers around its use of recoil operation, which uses a portion of the bullet’s energy to reload the pistol. Even after the release of newer and lighter handguns that shoot the .45 round, the 1911 shows n...
A weak or nonexistent crimp may enable a bullet to “walk” out of the case, which would tie up the gun.Starline is the only company that makes .41 Special brass. In a pinch, you can trim .41 Mag brass, but that’s not necessary. Since Starline brass is always a high-quality ...
I reform .32-20 to .25-20 as well, however, because of the thin wall, .32-20 reformed to .23-20 does not neck size down sufficiently to hold either cast or soft nose bullets well. They tend to fall into the case causing difficulty in removing the bullet. I, as many others do,...
re both semiautomatic striker-fired 9mm pistols with a magazine capacity of 15+ rounds, give or take a couple of rounds depending on specific configuration. They’re both about the same size, and have various options for modification of the size/shape of the grip to fit different hand sizes...

Have you shot the new VP9 from Heckler & Koch? I put one through its paces with lots of ammo and shooters, then give you the skinny on this gun.
In addition, both are very accurate, pure delights to reload, and offer great versatility on bullet selection.Before I started load development, I first wanted to check the uniformity of the weights and lengths of Starline cases for the two rounds. I had used Starline handgun cases for years...
