| Résumé : |
A method was tested for evaluation of terminal ballistics of lethal projectiles in ballistic gellatine making use of two orthogonally mounted high-speed cameras. 37 shots were conducted with the SS109 projectile in 20% NATO ballistic gelatine blocks. The added value of the second camera was evaluated by comparing measurement differences between the two cameras, as well as between the dual camera tracking method and other measurement methods, namely the total crack length method and the cavity tracking method. A number of significant differences were detected between the measurements of the two cameras. The dual camera tracking method proved to be a very reliable method compared to the other methods tested.
3 test shots with SS109 were also made in synthetic gelatine (candle gel) to compare them to the shots conducted in regular ballistic gelatine. There were noticeable differences between the two mediums, but the sample size was not large enough to make statistically significant conclusions. Finally, SS109 was also compared to 7 other 5.56mm projectiles, namely M193, Hornady 40gr TAP, Hornady 60gr TAP, Hornady 52gr A-MAX, Federal 62gr Tactical Bonded, Sierra 69gr MatchKing and Hornady 68gr BTHP Match. The test concluded that SS109 can pose an overpenetration risk and that other projectiles, specifically the M193 and Federal 62gr Tactical Bonded can be a better alternative in situations where overpenetration must be avoided at all cost. |
