Poison filled Hollow Points?

[Daniel_187]

Remember Jaws II when he was filling the tips of thoses .38Spl rounds and putting wax on them. Sounds cool but just do 2 to the chest 1 to the head

a) most bullets exit there target
b) bullets get extremely hot... ever had a piece of brass go down your shirt? Well, the bullet is a shit ton hotter, and when it hits its target, it gets even hotter
c) The damage a bullet causes is generally going to prevent any circulation of the affected areas, so your "poison" doesn't go anywhere
d) Most poisons.. the vast, vast, vast majority, are not going to have any rapid effect. Anything you could build without being hauled off to terrorist pound-you-in-the-ass federal prison would take HOURS to have any effect. So if you shoot mr assailant with your special poison round in the elbow, well, the only situation that you made a difference is when you both are running the NYC marathon. Even then, I suspect blood loss is a bigger issue to the other guy.

Point: Stop watching so much TV, lol.

B. Good point. Air resistance makes bullets get hot too.

Hey I don't even have a TV , I think of these myself.

I'd think an anti-coagulant would be nice.

If the bullets themselves are not going to do the job for you, perhaps it is time to sell the guns.

Why not just seal it up /w some more lead? i would be curious to see what a mercury filled and lead sealed round and a tiny bit of air in it would do vs steel plate compared to the non modified round. I would think the mercury help more /w barrier defeating than anything. Kind of like the old party trick where you tap the top your buddies bottle of beer, and the bottom of his shatters off....

[Irving]

How would a liquid help defeat a solid barrier? We're not talking about a tsunami or something here. It doesn't help that I don't know anything about mercury other than that it is dense and interesting to play with.


I also know about the trick you are talking about, and am having a hard time seeing how that relates to shooting a heavy metal Gusher* at someone.




*Those delicious fruit snacks that are filled with more liquid delicious.

I like to dip my bullets in my own piss after an all nighter drinking PBR! Won't do anything special to the BG but it makes me feel better thinking I theoretically pissed on him and pierced his ass in one shot!

I also dont know very much about mercury, but I was thinking something with that much density moving that fast with the lead acting mainly as a carrier for it would pack some extra punch through. and the liquid like state of the mercury would give it an extra punch as the leat hit target and the mercury tries to keep going.

in vietnam cobra gunships carried rockets loaded with flechettes packed in anti coagulant.

charlie would see a red puff and know he was done for.

I don't think the mercury moving inside the lead would have any effect other than destabilizing the bullet. I seem to remember some lesson in physics about running around on the inside of a bus, not effecting the forward motion of the bus.

Like if you crashed a water truck into a brick wall, I don't think the presence of the water would have any effect other than to add mass to the truck. I practically failed physics though, so don't take what I say too seriously.

Despite being a physics failure, I'm still positive that a plane could take off from a treadmill moving in the opposite direction. It boggles my mind when people think opposite on that little riddle.
