Prometheus air gun pellets

RE: Prometheus air gun pellets
Just a further snippet about the prometheus and defiants.

Wifey accidentally forgot to cook a lump of pork ( I wanted crackling) and it was left out to long so I took advantage of the lump of meant. Its a chunk of pig still covered in skin, I think it should have a similar density to human tissue.

I took the lump of pork and put a piece of cotton cloth over it to simulate a cotton shirt, then I added a piece of fleece and topped that with a piece of poly cotton cloth from an old pair of trousers to represent a dressed person. I fired two rounds of Bulldog ammo, then two Bisley Magnum ammo, then two 5.5 defiants, then two prometheus . All penentrated fully but the Bulldog ammo did not pass right through the test target. the other three test ammos did. Its was unscientific as the meat was not really thick enough to stop the ammo so I could not measure full penetration, but looking at the lump of 1/2 inch marine grade ply behind the meat I would say the heavier Bisley Magnums and the Prometheus put the deepest dents into the wood by about 3 mm.
