[QUOTE="Junior Bonner, post: 2584529, member: 33416"] Well, everybody scratches their head at why it takes two dozen Gold Dots to put Angel Alvarez in the hospital. I don't know why. But I know the the .45 Long Colt cartridge you're talking about did a number on the machete men in the Philippines. I suspect the 300 grain dumdum bullet going at 1,000 fps has a lot of foot pounds of energy, maybe exceeding 1,000 lbs at impact. They don't blossom out into a parachute, either. They resemble spat out chewing gum.

That's according to the soldiers who were there. Since this platform and munition is proven, the platform should be considered for modernization. The bullet should be non jacketed, and in .45 Long Colt. 300 grains. It's not hypothesis, it is historical fact what this round did.
