Dang if I wasn't wrong, Fergusd, am I married to you?

Fergy is right... have a look at the crash test dummy, and the movement. The Hornady 50 750gr A-MAX is around. 15.2 Kj, for this test and that barely moved. The dummy does have an imprint on the skin from the writing on the armour inside, but if a new tattoo is the only thing that happens, then that is pretty impressive, the shot to the head of course is less fun.
