More Cor-Bon DPX tests:
November 26th, 2006 by Syd
“We tried choking DPX with everything we had available: drywall, multiple layers of fabric and leather, plywood, sheet steel, et al. DPX penetrated through-and-through and subsequently expanded symmetrically in gelatin on the other side in every case. Such intervening barriers invariably frustrated subsequent expansion with nearly all conventional, jacketed/lead, hollow-points.
Then, we got a door from a wrecked, 2001 Dodge Dakota. At the upper edge,a double-layer of sheet steel is folded back on itself in order to create a rigid perimeter for both the inner and exterior panel. The effect is four layers of sheet steel, a formidable barrier indeed!
We shot into it with every brand of conventional, lead HP we had on hand. A shallow dent was the best we could do. Conversely, DPX, from a G26 (9mm), G30 (45ACP), and a BHP (40S&W) and all went through-and-through, punching anice, clean hole.
George and I just shook our heads. The stuff really works!”
Comment: Yes, it does!
