Where do the firearms people go?

Velocity is king .

It is not entirely true velocity is king. A 5.56mm AP round leaving the barrel at a speed of 800m/s will pass through the skull and brain like butter, with almost no deformation and almost no loss of energy. The chances to survive, if the heart does not stop and the bullet does not tear apart a major cerebral artery, increase dramatically. The key factors are the type of ammunition used and the location of the shot, not the velocity. A 300-joule 9mm HP/FMJ Makarov is more than sufficient.

We're here. I have firearms and, frankly, I'm near the edge. Between work stress, financial stress, and the state of the world, I just want to give up. My wife being dependent on me is the only reason I'm still alive.

You americans are so lucky

Depends on which part of America you live. Certain states have super relaxed laws when it comes to buying firearms. Other states, like New York, are extremely difficult and time consuming. to get a handgun, You have to jump through a lot of hoops to get one and the process can stretch on for a long time. Im sure its still easier then purchasing a gun in certain countries but not always as easy as it sounds.

Yeah u don't want fmj bullets. U want hollow point or hunting bullets. Hp = hollow point

Velocity with a hollow point or expanding bullet is king

The higher velocity makes the bullet expand and deliver most of the energy within a few inches. the higher the velocity the sooner the bullet will expand.

This video shows the hollow point high velocity bullet does the most damage to the watermelon much more than a fmj same gun. And this is with a baby 9mm handgun from a distance. A point blank range contact shot or in the mouth would cause much damage



A 9mm handgun has about 362 foot pounds of energy. A 300 win mag rifle 3548 . Ft lbs are slightly more than joules

The way I see it a 300 win mag bullet hitting my skull at a velocity of almost 1 kilometer per second . What is going to happen to my skull? Gone
