.44 magnum and 300 win mag were pretty impressive. I wouldn't wanna get hit with any of them though :P

Agreed...but it was very entertaining for me

Entertainment as stated; not scientific as stated. Check out www.tacticalforums.com

Go to the Terminal Effects subforum and click on the Recommended Duty/Self Defense thread. Shows results of scientific gelatin testing of handgun rounds by Dr. Gary Roberts. Not a video, but pics are provide. IMO, both interesting and especially informative, tho it has a 2005 date.

Thanks for the link! It's interesting that the 9mm 124 JHP appears to have slightly more of an affect than the 147 JHP...or am I misreading it?

I believe my interpretation is correct though. When I debated 124 vs. 147, I went to federal's website on their hydra-shok rounds. Here's a table with an energy comparison. The red line is 124 gr and the blue is 147 gr -

Thanks for the post. __________________ The three requirements for a school shooting. 1 know the floorplan. 2 Know the threats inside the location and response time/entry time for the police 3. Royally screwed up intelligent analytic mind. We need more laws to protect these three rights. Ban guns in schools, it obviously works.
