I call bull shit on that. The bullet would have deformed.

I was expecting a giant ā€œBlurpā€ noise as the ice swallowed the moronsā€¦

I vaguely remember myth busters taking this on. My recollection is that it looked like a lost cause for a long time, but that they eventually pulled it off. I canā€™t remember how much they had to modify the set up though.

I did the math once on the spin rate and it seemed to work out - even something like .45LC with its slow twist rate would be spinning awfully fast if forward motion halted.

How? Good luck getting through that ice without fairly heavy machinery.

I canā€™t believe the that the bullet doesnā€™t deform. But, to be honest, I mainly see people checking the deformation of hollow points not FMJ.

What a fun question!

Happens every time in the cartoons I grew up on. :slight_smile:

Iā€™ve dug up quite a few .45 FMJ bullets from the dirt behind a target and they are always perfect without deformation. I was surprised about that.
