Chuck,
I forgot one point you brought up...the bullet that went thought a IIIa vest and one that went through 3/8th inch steel both still did the same thing....This I can't explain. How it can be AP and still cause the same degree of injury is beyond me. Yes we had x-rays and the dispersion of metal fragment was still there as though no vest or steel was infront of the animals.
Your question of glass is an excellent one...sorry, no answer on that. If I ever have the opportunity to be on-site at another shoot, I will do the glass infront of the tissue test.
My ability to educate is really not there. A person must want the knowledge to be able to learn, then my job is easy.
