Are screwdriver tips memes? They seem incredibly effective for handgun rounds...

This thread could have been interesting if this board wasn't full of retards. Oh well.

This is the most tight sequence of replys. Well done to all involved

dank meme xD

they are a projectile that was completely designed around making an impressive cavity in ballistic gelatin. they do not have the same effect on tissue.

Yeah. It could have started with literally any thing other than the tired "Is x a meme?" meme.
(Okay, not literally any. "Redpill me on screwdriver tips" would have gone downhill just as fast.)

>they do not have the same effect on tissue.
Maybe not the same, but they do alright.

Retard that would be hollow points.
There is no such this as a “temporary wound cavity”. These create PERMANENT CAVITIES. You know the thing that actually kills people

you have it precisely backwards

>he likes hollow points

Thanks.

do you actually have a point to this? are you trying to make the point that even if hollowpoints dont expand they are roughly the same as your screwdriver meme bullets?

I'm going to say "probably not entirely" based on p.harrells meat target tests. The same can be said for the liberty meme defense 9mm rounds, which he seemed pretty surprised by as well.

They chew up flesh, clearly. FMJ bullets drop targets all the time (and sometimes a hailstorm of them fail), so theyre going to be at least as effective as an fmj. The same holds true for a JHP round that gets clogged and doesnt expand. Alternatively, take a round like leHigh defenses 70grn H.E.R.O bullet, or liberty cd's schp, or anybof the multitide of fracturing HP-esque bullets out there.

They're going to be at least as effective as an fmj. And thats still a half decent benchmark.

Thanks Jow Forums!

did you fuck it?

Are you a retard? Those are at least sjhp. Not hp. You can see the copper jacket on em ffs.

If it ain't HST it ain't for me

I had a box of these once. They were labeled “sentry rounds” supposed to not deflect when fired through windshields/glass. I can’t remember the manufacture.
What can you tell me about them?

Hope you enjoy posting this ebin screenshot on your Jow Forums facebook group

I use them in my lcp II since based on my research, hollow points don't expand effectively out of it. I use hollow points in everything else.

I'd say they are best used when maximizing their velocity. 65g .357 sig has tested very well and the theoretical 65g 9x25 dillon load that gets posted looks nuts. 9mm fs cry superiority because "handguns just poke holes always". Well this let's you have rifle like wounding of permanent cavities larger than projectile diameter

XTP bullets, particularly precision one and hornady custom rounds may be a safer bet. The Lehigh rounds wouldn't feed in my P238

The point is, JHPs remain fundamentally unreliable despite the years of effort put into enhancing them.
Even if screwdriver bullets were actually worse in bare gel and heavy clothing tests (they aren't), they'd still be a better choice overall thanks to their barrier blindness.

>roughly the same
No, penetrating clear through two 16 inch gel blocks and disappearing downrange is not the same as consistently stopping at 18-19 inches.

Only what I've seen online. Iirc, an attempt to recreate the effectiveness of the brass THV, but with improved terminal effects in soft targets. Removable plastic cap to help with feeding. 80grn monolithic copper round.

Honestly, the xtreme penetrator or defenders from lehigh (or if they made a .355-.358 cavitator) would be more effective. Especially if you recreated them in brass or bronze. The 70's/80's were an interesting time, from a bullet design perspective. Lots of weird concepts brought to market.

For .380 sure. For x18, x19 JHP + ballistics tip please.

I wonder if any madman of a company would release screw-driver tip .308 or 5.56 with a monolithic copper/brass body with a plastic nose-cap for better ballistics and penetration while still jellying human torsos.

>No, penetrating clear through two 16 inch gel blocks and disappearing downrange is not the same as consistently stopping at 18-19 inches.
Yeah, overpenetrating is undesirable.
