Being Honest (3/5) | Apr 16, 2009 | Snake Man | Rdrfld VA US |
| It's my opinion that Terry W's review is slightly exagerated. Bulk 9MM luger Hollow point ammo can't be used by the US military, in any branch. A Nato Mil-spec. round (FMJ) must be used. The US. Army doesn't issue troops hollow point ammo, nor allows hollow point ammo to be used by US. troops. On another note, there's no misconseption, bigger does have more energy. Would you rather get hit with a bicycle or a car doing 30 mph.? A .50 cal. BMG round, even if it were a hollow point, would pass completely through a human body too fast to expand. It would still kill but you have to understand it left a 1/2 inch hole in the body it passed through. A .22 LR. doesn't have the energy a 9MM has, a 9MM doesn't have the energy a .44 Rem. Mag. has and so on. Stop playing with ballistic jell and check out real dead bodies shot by different cal. ammo. Example: I've seen bodies shot with .38 Spl. rounds and .357 Mag. rounds. Both rounds were hollow points and of the same weight (Everyone knows the .38 Spl. & the .357 Mag. shoot the same bullet, only the case & powder charge are bigger on the .357 Mag.). The slower .38 Special left a larger wound channel than the .357 Mag. in the body. I've seen .357 Mag. bullets just beginning to expand as they were exiting the body. Most .38 Spl. rounds expanded fully half way into the body. Whenever you load your weapon, you either use a bullet that will penetrate a car door, ect. or use a bullet built to expand and fragment upon impact. You give up one to have the other. I take nothing away from Corbon, they make good ammo regardless of cal. I've bought more than my share of Corbon over the years. I just disagree with Terry W.'s statement and the misconception note in this ammo's description. My review will most likely not get posted here, but thank you anyway, Snake Man.
