Gun Owners.......... is this possible?

I was watching CSI and a guy was killed by a meat bullet? :Q Is this possible? The guy took ground beef and put it in a hollow point bullet form (to make his own bullet) then he broze it and then he froze it again with liquid nitrogen. I was talking to one guy and he said the heat from exiting the barrel of the gun would shatter the bulit and another guy said it would work. The bullet fragmented in the body but the ground beef blended into the human flesh so as not to leave a bullet in the wound.

I know it's a TV show but what do you think? Would it work?

Cheers,
Aquaman

Errr, its television. Are you saying the purpose of the ground beef was to conceal any trace or sign of a bullet hole?

If so....its television.

Nah......... they made a bullet out of frozen ground beef and the beef fragmented and melted after entry. So no bullet was founnd.

At high velocities as a bullet... almost anything could be lethal, even water. So yes, if the bullet didn't break up on exiting, it would work.

Ah, nevermind.

How you going to keep the bullet frozen?

I think he used the bullet very soon after taking it out of the freezer. It was a planned murder so I guess the guy was well prepared.

freeze an orange in liquid nitrogen and it shatters easily. a little piece of meat is going to shatter coming out of the gun.

An orange is also primarily water, you essentially have a glorified ice cube.

Agreed. A nitrogen frozen bullet made of water works good. Short range weapon (<1000 feet) but still very deadly.

I would think ice would break apart quite easily.

Actually, wasn't the ice bullet used in a movie once? The one where the special ops guy was supposed to do an assassination and it turned out to be the first lady and she was shot by another sniper that used an ice bullet so there would be no tracability. (Most Wanted is the movie I am thinking of)

An orange frozen in liquid nitrogen will shatter so will a tennis ball, but a banana frozen in liquid nitorgen can be used to drive a nail like a hammer. Different materals behave differently at super cold temperatures. I don't know is ground beef would hold together since it was small pieces to start with, but take a solid slug of meat and mayby it would work.
