Tony Williams Wrote:I wasn't suggesting that we should use CETME-type bullets with a light alloy or plastic core (except perhaps as a tip filler), but simply that we consider adopting something like their external form (which as I understand it gave them excellent flight ballistics) and shove a steel core into it instead.I see no reason it couldn't be done. I came across a sectional drawing of a jacketed CETME w/lead core (see attached), so presumably steel could be substituted as core material.
Question is, would such a long (really LONG!) projectile punch straight through flesh without yawing?
