[QUOTE="longestrange, post: 2100864, member: 75265"] Thanks. Funny how several of the posters used the figure skater example. After reading through that thread it appears that, although the rotational energy is minimal compared to the translational energy, the centrifugal force acts to expand a bullet more rapidly, thus causing more damage. It can even disintegrate a bullet mid-flight. [/QUOTE]
