The problem, well at least one of them, seems to be that some folks jumped in and posted, having not followed the initial thread from its inception. The technology will be used on existing bullets. It's just a matter if the claims indeed live up to what “They”, has indicated. That's the reason he is proceeding with the tests. Phase two as it were. He isn’t changing the round, just the bullet, a modification of bullet tip, the by drilling these three holes in it. That's basically it.
If the holes indeed allow the gasses to escape on impact faster than they would normally, then the round should expand better and more consistently. It's so simple that it may indeed work, that's what the future tests will show. All the talk about clogging etc., really isn’t relative, once the bullet hits the target, the gasses accumulated in the “hollow point” need to exit the hollow point so it can mushroom to its maximum potential. “that’s the way it was explained to me”. So if these holes allow the gas to exit upon striking the target, then it should allow the hollow point to mushroom faster causing more damage and less failure to expand.” If I understand this correctly”, all of the posts, “including mine” that questioned trajectory wobble etc. are not relevant since nothing happens until the bullet hits something and starts to release gas and expand.
Trying to get anything from the idea stage to market, in these economic times is difficult at best. Perhaps a little less negativity and a little more support, may be a better way to start the New Year. Many of us are critical to a fault. There have been countless threads that went on for weeks that had yes or no answers, so stepping on someone who is trying to come up with a product that may benefit us all, is not constructive. If he is proven wrong we will all know about it soon enough. But if he really has something here, it could save a life.
