12ga Steel Penetrator Rounds

<< < (2/2)

kozball:
The youngsters at work tell me that there are some You-Tube vids.

Haven't had time to check them out yet, but said to really put a dent in plate steel.

bkoenig:
I'm skeptical.  12g isn't going to have a lot of velocity, even if it does have a lot of mass.  I would think you'd have to be pretty close to the target for it to retain enough energy to penetrate an engine block.  That kind of makes it impractical for stopping a moving vehicle.

Edit:  Ok, they're claiming 1900 FPS.  I doubt if it keeps that velocity for long, though.
