Hand Power Penetration & Ballistic GELATIN:

This link is something of a 'follow-up' video from UK about old tech ARROWS released from bows and crossbows - into Ballistic Gel. - for we shooters familiar with the  FBI's thinking on penetration and effectiveness .. (Recommended 16 inches).

This guy Tod's Workshop is GOOD.

Well I'm completely lost in my thinking here .. Energy Levels are so low compared to firearms - but I have no doubt about these old tools possessing STOPPING POWER.

Calculated ballistic energy levels cannot be the full answer - as what about sectional density, shape, cutting-edge-surface and momentum? .. I'm lost.

.. but there's more to 'ONE SHOT STOPS' than meets the eye eh (.45" v 9 mm 😈😈),

NOW you can send me a wee support $ - starting from $1. to get all this stuff from New Zealand - over a year that's nearly the price of one Shooting magazine. - Am I worth it?
