[QUOTE="Lycanit, post: 2198967, member: 92957"] I am dubious as to the veracity of statements regarding none expanding projectiles and relativistic velocity and it's effects on penetration. Disruptive effect on the presentation portion of the projectile certainly will cause a loss of depth however saying a none tumbling, none expanding projectile looses penetration due to velocity alone is false. Why would the military develop sabot rounds for the Abraham tank? It's the same concept. I will agree completely that double the velocity does not in any way guarantee a specific increase in depth of penetration. Nor does 300 fps increase reduce your depth by any margin, unless your material of testing is inconsistent and there in lies a probable truth. Then again, what do I know. I'm just old. [/QUOTE]
