110gr V-Max performance against car windshield
This bullet appears to fragment severely after impact with 0.235” thick laminated car windshield glass turned at a 45
degree obliquity. While this fragmentation causes a shallower bullet penetration depth in a soft target located behind
the windshield glass, the penetration depth of these fragments into gelatin indicates that they could pose a risk to
unprotected eyes and structures located close to the skin of an attacker.

Soft-Catch images
In order to isolate the effect of the bullets collision with the barrier, the gelatin backing was removed and a soft-catch
box was placed behind windshield glass and the test was repeated. It can be said that windshield glass appears to strip
away a great portion of the V-max bullet upon impact.

110gr V-Max performance against car doors
This bullet appears to fragment severely after impact with 20 gauge sheet metal turned at 0 degree obliquity. While this
fragmentation causes a shallower bullet penetration depth in a soft target located behind the car door, the penetration
depth of these fragments into gelatin indicates that they could pose a risk to unprotected eyes and structures located
close to the skin of an attacker.
In order to exacerbate the effect of this bullet, which is intentionally made with fragile construction to break up on
impact with varmint animals, colliding with steel sheet metal, the FBI ‘car door’ fixture was turned at a 45 degree angle
such that the apparent thickness of the steel was increased.

125gr Pro Hunter performance against car windshield
This bullet appears to fragment severely after impact with 0.235” thick laminated car windshield glass turned at a 45
degree obliquity. Due to the higher initial weight and perhaps the more solid construction, this bullet retains a higher
mass and greater penetration in the gelatin block behind the windshield, than does the 110gr Hornady V-Max.

Soft-Catch images
In order to isolate the effect of the bullets collision with the barrier, the gelatin backing was removed and a soft-catch
box was placed behind windshield glass and the test was repeated. It can be said that windshield glass appears to strip
away a great portion of the Pro Hunter bullet upon impact.

125gr Pro Hunter performance against car doors
This bullet appears to fragment severely after impact with 20 gauge sheet metal turned at 0 degree obliquity. While this
fragmentation causes a shallower bullet penetration depth in a soft target located behind the car door, the penetration
depth of these fragments into gelatin indicates that they could pose a risk to unprotected eyes and structures located
close to the skin of an attacker.
