[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 711098, member: 8"] Bullet deformation on impact is important for FMJs!!!!! It screws up the rotation and the bullet loses spin stability. On an expanding bullet, the center of mass moves forward as the bullet expands creating or adding stability to the bullet. Even in the absence of spin an expanded bullet will be stable passing through a body. Simple physics of the center of mass and stability. It is what archers call [U]Forward Of Center[/U] and why an arrow can be stable without spin. [/QUOTE]
