Brickeyee shed wisdom on terminal ballistics in saying "It is very hard to make more than general statements (CNS hits are often good stoppers) and observe effects based on ballistic gelatin testing"
Yes, I am begining to understand what you mean... Its the "controlled" group that sets the standard for the scientific experiment... And although ive never been attacked by a jug of water (haha), this is why I actually am gaining more insight from "water jug and denim" tests than just about anything else I have seen (despite however "unscientific" as they seem)! They are the only tests anyone can do, with the nearly identical setup, allowing results from different guns, barrel lengths, ammo, etc. that can be compared more easily than any others! Ill put more stock in a backyard bubba waterjug test on Youtube that I can watch for myself, than a manufacturer's own private gelatin tests that Ive never seen, which produce the perfect-looking mushroom on a sharp-looking chart!
