Chuck, that private e-mail took place quite a long time ago, probably in excess of two years ago, am I correct? I do not take offense to the material you posted however you stretched the rationalized time frame a bit. I still believe much of the subject matter you quoted to be correct.

Although conventional high velocity thoracic rifle bullet impacts can show the lung surface bubbling you referenced the Le Mas rifle round signatures are much more prolific in different ways with respect to location and dimension.

In addition, there are no ballistic gelatin 12-18 inch compliant handgun hollow point bullet designs which also create that type of signature. The Le Mas armor piercing handgun ammunition is designed to function from current duty weapon platforms, if you can find any currently available off the shelf handgun that can fire the 147 grain gold dot at 2,000+ fps, please feel free to post thoracic cavity live tissue impacts that duplicate such lung tissue signatures. The recorded thoracic cavity tissue destruction for the Le Mas 9mm AP bullet contained in Dr. Vail's report was fired from a stock Glock-17.


Mr. Roberts reported 18.1 inches of penetration depth in denim clad calibrated 10%ballistic gelatin with a recovered bullet core that showed no expansion. Mr. Roberts further stated in his published report that the Le Mas 9mm AP bullet created less tissue destruction than any conventional hollow point bullet yet provides no actual living tissue data which documents his statement.

Dr. Vail provided actual living tissue data for the Le Mas 9mm AP bullet.

What part of the documented performance for the Le Mas 9mm Ap bullet when impacting living tissue do you not understand?
