I'd link the site but I don't remember the link. I got it originally from ehowa.com which I can't visit from work because of the random boobies that tend to appear on there.

Here you go! (this site is a great read!)

As Clint Smith says, "The only purpose for a pistol is to fight your way back to the rifle you should have never laid down".

Man, after seeing those pics, no kidding. It just goes right through...

hollow points are very poor at penetrating armor. what they do is dig into your flesh and flatten among impact, thus causing some serious damage to your tissues.

Holy sweet jesus at those assault rifle impacts.
