[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2646804, member: 75451"] My opinion on the Russian Penetrator (and others of similar design) slug, yes extreme penetration……but minimal damage due to design. There is a reason that the slower moving cartridges are using wide metplat bullets…..tissue damage, permanent wound channel, and shock transmission! A pointed bullet when hitting flesh makes a relatively small opening in the flesh, the flesh is pushed aside allowing passage of the projectile and rapidly closes behind the projectile. There is minimal tissue damage as compared to a wide metplat projectile, which translates into less permanent tissue damage and consequently much less bleeding from the wound. In summary……much like handguns/big bore rifles, the hard (less deforestation), heavy (for increased penetration), and wide metplat (maximum tissue disruption) is far more desirable than a sharply pointed, non-expanding projectile ! memtb [/QUOTE]
