Working at the Cavern Club in Liverpool UK, 1960 to 1964, full time day job, 3 nights a week Bouncer (young family extra cash) Stabbed on two separate occasions, not fun. First time, small blade into back, second attempt to push home made spike into my sternum, I caught that in right wrist, he suffered a broken eye socket, jaw and cheek bone. Adrenalin is one hell of a hand speed enhancer!

Reference vests and projectiles, saw a frangible 9mm shot at a vest (as a joke!) it was hung on a target holder, in a range. Wee tiny bits of feather like bits floating about? Projectile through both sides! Light weight projectile, hi speed, very polished finish on the bullet.

Hit into steel plate, totally disintegrated the projectile. Which was it's intent, shooting steel.
