[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2951800, member: 106845"] Tumbling on impact is due to necking over and not expanding. Doesn’t happen on paper. In this case, if it didn’t expand, and was a steep angle, it can experience enough resistance to not penetrate deep, especially if it turns perpendicular to its path. Hammers are indeed made from a very soft copper alloy and it doesn’t take much to deform the small open tip. The exact reason it didn’t expand and separate the petals isn’t fully known right now, but we can speculate based on the things we do know. [/QUOTE]
