TERMINAL BALLISTIC COMPARISON IN WATER MEDIA

The data contained herein is not data I have recorded, but is the work of Carmon Crapson.

Carmon is an 86-year-old shooter who has spent most of his life compiling ballistic data
for federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, as well as for his own curiosity.

He has consented to allow me to compile his data and post it on my pages.

(Unlike all the other data on my pages, which can be copied at will,
the data contained herein cannot be copied
without express written consent of Carmon Crapson and myself.)

ALL TESTING WAS DONE WITH OHLER MODELS 33 AND M35P CHRONYS,
10 FEET FROM MUZZLE (UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED).

ALL JUGS ARE 1-GALLON MILK JUGS FILLED WITH WATER.

I am including two works by other researchers in this page. I have absolutely no connection with either.

The first is a fairly large .JPG file. It shows the comparative penetration and retained weight of 180 grain .308 bullets in wet phonebooks.

It is an interesting study, however, all phonebooks are not created equal, and all wet phonebooks are not the same wetness.

The second, a large .PDF file, shows the comparative terminal performance of the 5.56mm FMJ bullet in military situations.

Again, this is an interesting study.
