At extremely close range, how will various ammo types perform?My carry gun of choice is a NAA 22MS, which is the 1 1/8” barrel. Yes, I’m aware of its limitations, and a 357 resides at bedside. Why a mini gun? I awoke at 2:30am, and the mini was immediately clipped to the waistband of my pajamas. Its on my person until I retire. So is my phone, and a small powerful flashlight. As a former martial artist, now grown old, I was trained to always be ready for action. Bad guys don’t make appointments. The best gun is the one you are carrying. The mini gun is next to useless in combat, but is deadly up close. My question for the forum is about bullet weight. A light round is propelled by a larger powder charge. For this reason, my mini is loaded with 30 gr, as opposed to the customary 40/45 gr found in “self defense” rounds. Tests in ballistics gel show that hollow points only reliably expand out of the short barrel with lighter, faster rounds. I’m not trying to shoot through an attacker, possibly causing collateral damage. I prefer that all force be absorbed by my target. I theorize that the extra charge, most of which will ignite after the bullet has left the barrel, will provide quite a punch when the gun is used as a “ belly gun”. Opinions please. Has anyone tested this scenario in ballistics gel, firing at point blank range?
