For all you "heavy hitter" buffs!

[Time of Flight]

This is an awesome article.

Lies, Damned Lies, and Ballistics.

Goes over and compares all the heavy hitting pistol calibers in great detail...

460 Rowland, .38 Casull, .40 Super, and my personal favorite the 10mm...theres also a few more in there too...

Good read thanks.

Um, it's a 6 year old article consisting of a guy babbling mall-ninja theory using a bunch of numbers and no real world information or ballistics testing. No thanks.

Ok I will agree that the part of the article containing the weird "Killing Power Formula" or whatever is kind of dumb, but in contrast of all the loads and there respective power levels are spot on.

Besides it never hurts to to read a different perspective. Even if you don't agree with it or think its correct.

I always felt this article was good and included a lot of real world information (and possibly the only decent thing coming out of arfcom).

A headache took over about halfway through that "article", but I did get through it. A quick summary...the largest diameter bullet tends to stop the fight soonest, given adequate penetration.

Good article, and by far not the only good arfcom stuff...try building an authentic retro rifle w/o the info on arf. Anyway, that article again reiterates adequate penetration and a big bullet.

"Its shot placement", "Its shot placement", my 9mm is just as good. Maybe if I say it enough even I'll believe it.

HA HA, had to have some fun with it before the "ITS SHOT PLACEMENT" crowd get's here.

can someone summarize that for me?

too much to read too lazy to bother... whats the out come on them.

Seriously someone with a pressure plate and put a piece of steel on the front and take shots with the 9mm 45 and 40 and see what numbers pop up.. Its that simple so we can end this stupid knock down power bs everyone swears by.. If I had the equipment I would have done the dam thing and settled it once and for all.


So someone with a pressure plate and all calibers and a piece of steel do the test so we can end all this 9mm vs 40 vs 45 acp bs. Or give it to me and ill do it.

No love for the 44-40...former official gun of Texas Rangers.

Dude relax...This is not a 9 vrs 40 vrs 45 thread!

its more like a 10mm vrs .400 corbon vrs. 40 super thread...

I'm relaxed dude... I was just saying.

Also that would tell you nothing, we can come up with the numbers without the pressure plate and sensors.

All your going to get is the Pounds per inch, which wound tell you the whole story.

To many variables, that why no one had done that.
