Absolutely TS, couldn't agree more. I really wasn't trying to be a smart ass but I guess most of us have been subjected to all the best ballistics science from the folks that make ammo for us to do our jobs think is the right formula. You know, like the right combination of stuff for body armor until someone realizes that folks also get shot in the back and chest plates alone don't solve the problem. Or that a shot in the femoral artery where there is no armor is going to kill you just as quickly as a gut shot to the liver. Sort of the reason why head shots are sought and why "stingers" used up close and personal behind the ear will take you out . I have seen too many folks get bogged down with the science of killing when the nut cutting is all about putting the rounds on the target. But, I am glad someone a lot smarter than me has the time and patience to figure out what it takes to do the job so when I squeeze the trigger the round will do what it is designed to do without me having to crank up a calculator to make that adustment. Just a thought.
