He tested them and some penciled through. (Inconsistant)

ok so couple of questions..why a light projectile going so slowly??? 7.62x39mm perhaps???
in theory projectiles are like car crashes and having a wank...the faster you go the bigger the mess
thousands of animals have been sucessfully shot and killed using FMJ that didnt expand or tumble..you hit shoulder bones ,destroy locomotion ability and take out lungs at same time.... if the pencil going slow...speed them up...if they too explody,slow them down..works for just about every other projectile on the market..forsure a slight opening of nose cavity can help initiate opening..but jacket construction and speed play just as big of part.
