[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 888561, member: 30902"] Yaw/pitch basically where the tip is slowed and the tail is moving up and down or side to side not quite tipping over enough to tumble completely. I've see bullets for example that hit a twig just short of a target go through the target side ways and if you watch enough slow motion video of ballistic gel tests you'll see some bullets exhibiting that effect. I've also seen them just end up rolling over with the front and rear having swapped ends. Energy seeks the path of least resistance so it just doesn't always maintain that straight line attitude all the way through. Think about a car with weak rear brakes and normal front brakes on ice. You get on the brakes lightly and the rear end fishtails and the car then may end up sideways till it finally comes to a stop. We may both be thinking the same thing and just not expressing it quite the same. Ditto. We are on the same path... . Not quite with you there. I think it could be that or there was a peeling back of the petals so to speak without them tearing off. Slight mushroomig without any significant bullet break up. Lots of possibilities and we just can't nail it down without looking at a recovered bullet. [/QUOTE]
