It certainly looks like a skull cracker.

Strangely enough that’s what I thought.

I think these are on a youtube video in slow motion trying to pierce an old car hood but I can't find the vid right now. Whichever ones they used were a failure as they flew sideways and tumbled end over end in the gun used. -Rob   Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2012 8:59 pm SMP Silver Status Member Joined: 04 Feb 2011 Posts: 1183 Location: Just south of "Out There"- Land O Lakes Ontario Jeez....Armor piercing rds for a pellet gun Mildly disturbing _________________ Sean   Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2012 9:35 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA On second thought, the ones that tumbled were plastic outside the core.   Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2012 11:16 pm Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Quote: Jeez....Armor piercing rds for a pellet gun Mildly disturbing You mean like our friends over at Gamo, who actually advertise them as such: http://www.gamousa.com/product.aspx?productID=300 _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 5:10 am mod90 Veteran Member Joined: 04 Jun 2011 Posts: 279 Some people just don't know when to leave good enough alone.

The pellet does look nasty, but something tells me its not going to work so well in the real word application. _________________ Benjamin Marauder .25 cal scoped with Bushnell 4-16/40AO CF with Hill hand pump Gamo Hunter 220 .177 with CP 4-16/AO   Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2012 11:01 pm jlwilliams Veteran Member Joined: 02 Oct 2009 Posts: 264 Location: Jacksonville, NC USA I doubt it will be more effective than good old lead. You get penetration, density and deformation all by using a cheap, common metal. Hard to beat it.   Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2012 3:28 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA Yeah, might be good for boring through a thick skull but I won't be buying any.
