Unpopular opinion on this board: (From a relative close distance)Ive tried one of those arrows here and it cutted straight through an European wooden door (meaning, heavier, massive, not made of cardboard). It got stuck because of the back part of the arrow Lets say from close distance:A single arrow of this kind is deathlier than a single bullet from the same distance honnestly. This blade cutts enough veins and its impact is horrific. If it hits an artery its done soon but even the veins, tissue, other shit it damages is quite sick if you ask me. It's dark here now otherwise I could show you the door with literally a vertical hole of that arrow through it. I think a bullet will be my choice if I have to choose between being hit by a single bullet or a single arrow of this kind
>>64632667Depends on velocity
>>64632710Which is always quite maximum at quite high fps rates (400-600)
>>64632710Is that a bullet or arrow?
>>64632723Bullet.Have another.
>>64632667A bloadhead is more deadly than a pistol bullet. Once you reach rifle velocities say 2700fps mv with enough bullet mass to carry through (momentum) after the initial energy exchange (impact resistance, bullet expansion) the game changes drastically. But when it comes to pistol bullets compared to a broadhead designed for game like deer, the broadhead wins. Most compound bows are getting over 300fps some much higher and 400fps is pretty common in crossbows. The momentum of even 400 grains at 400fps when it has a sharp broadhead, coated low friction shaft and Vanes that are flexible means a quick in and out overcoming friction and even cracking bone. Arrow/bolt better than pistol in a single shot kill/feint time comparison.
>>64632761the guy probably used some dumdum bullets here and again: people do university studies on behavior of bullets. It may ricochated?
>>64632667Yeah that's probably as deadly as a fat hollow point
>>64632667>Ive tried one of those arrows here and it cutted straight through an European wooden doorhorseshit you fired it through a formica door with a cardboard interior that thing , I've owned several hand crosshows and no bolt from them at 80lbs would even get close through getting through a hardwood 'European' door. \why are you on here spewing shit?
>>64632667Are you a compulsive liar?
>>64632762that's a 80lb pistol crossbow (or less) with a TINY short draw length it's no where close to a compound recurve or any full size crossbow in energy stored or transferred OP is full of shit and those broadheads won't make much difference but they will get wrecked but have less chance of ricochet back but they are not going though a couple of inches of hardwood door EVER
>>64632915Even going through cardboard would be quite impressive honnestly. Cardboard is still harder than human skin, kek
>>64632876I didnt say hollowpoints and neither AK47 ammunition. Play it fair. Okay, .22 would be unfair but 35ACP, 9mm, 45ACP form a handgun?
>>64632876dumdum created by British in India btw is what you call 'hallow poinds' in America
>>64633406Hollow points originate in big game express rifles that predate cutdown rounds from the dumdum arsenal that eventually became soft point rounds.
