The best...10 years ago "Anti-assault rifle" documentary by State Police
Ten years ago or so, I saw a documentary promoted by the State Police here in Michigan. The trooper loaded up an AR-15 with FMJs. Then, turns toward a wall of loosely stacked cinder block...not concrete, and not cemented together...just stacked to look like a wall. The message was, do we want people who possess "Small arms" that are not small arms, but weapon for assault, and weapons that can cut your brick house down? They also had a "wall" of bricks stacked. So, the trooper proceeds to cut the two walls down...pulverizing the cinder block and bricks. Now, anyone who knows anything about cement and concrete, brick, etc, know that UNDER PREASSURE they are FAR less likely to break, crack. Most times, the bullets will simply bounce off and right back in your face. Later, someone from the NRA confronted the trooper regarding why they didn't use a real building...the forced answer...the truth FINALLY was forced out! "The bullets might bounce back".
Added the following:
By the way, two videos that demonstrate the TRUTH of firearms ballistics:
1) "DEADLY EFFECTS: Firearms and Firepower", ANITE Productions.
2) "DEADLY EFFECTS: Wound Ballistics", ANITE Productions.
The best part shows that a 12 gauge shotgun WILL almost always penetrate a car fully. Nearly NO RIFLE, except the .50 BMG will! Also, most pistols will NOT, and the mith of the .357 "armor pierce" that cracks engine block...bull poopie. Also, levels of vest protection and the demonstration that when struck by a bullet, the person will NOT fall down by force. They show bullet proof glass, the whole 9 yards.
These are two pretty interesting videos. I must caution...the wound effects video is gruesome! It is good for weapon selection for CCW, but it is gruesome.
