So just in case you've ever wondered how dragonfire holds up in the concrete jungle. Some dude unloaded 6-8 shells at close range into a police vehicle. Cop is ok. Shooter, not so much. https://x.com/policelawnews/status/2011050270739087492
>>64753480I assume you're talking about dragon's breath and just mixed up the name. Anyways, yeah unsurprising given it's really just shards of magnesium. It's a light weight shot, meant more for spectacle than practical use.
>>64753480If the shooter killed himself, was it the cops that said that the incendiary rounds were “designed to inflict maximum damage” or are they parroting the marketing for them? Because they clearly did less damage than regular slugs.
>>64753501That I did. Still it is interesting that it still made almost perfectly spherical entry into the side of the car. The two gashes make a bit more sense if the heat was enough to melt the paneling but those holes don't seem to be created by heat. Just velocity and mass.
>>64753512>those holes don't seem to be created by heatyes because they don't burn through steel anon, there's not enough thermal mass there, and steel is a good conductor, it's quite inefficient to try to melt your way through. it's literally just velocity and mass>>64753507anon what do you think? tbf it would be very unpleasant to be shot by this, imagine having a burning shard of magnesium in your gut, definitely quite lethal from an anti-personnel perspective, but it's not that practical.
>>64753524Still I'd expect to see no hole or a hell of a lot more. Upon review I think he might have sprung for the buckshot version. Looks like about 6 shells were fired. One must have been the 00 buckshot version. They have about 6 balls and still produce a flame. Maybe he was hoping the buck would penetrate and the rest were fire for effect or possible to ignite the vehicle.
