How well does M193 fragment after penetrating flak jackets and other heavy/bulky clothing? LONGHUNTER |
|
Penetrating the vest eats up velocity, so you'd need to be fairly close for the bullet to have enough remaining velocity to allow fragmentation. But, otherwise, just like normal. A small, fast, pointy bullet will sail right through a flak vest, which is only Level IIA or so. -Troy |
| For what its worth I shot one of those military flak vests from the 1980s with a .22 magnum round from a 22 inch barrel from 10 feet. The ammo was CCI .22 WMR MaxiMag +V a 36 grain jacketed bullet with a 2200 fps muzzel velocity. The bullet buried itself in the layers of the vest but did not pass thru. |
