Weapons of West Point -02- Terminal Effect

A discussion of the terminal effect of a kinetic energy projectile. Even then (1984) things were terribly PC and LTC Alphin was restricted from using any of his field research. He could not use his actual terminal ballistics expertise concerning a live mammalian target. He could not use the Thompson-LaGarde Test of 1921-22, nor any later work because that later work was classified. Further, LTC Alphin was restricted from using any of the issues raised about the effectiveness of the 5.56x45mm NATO round used in the Army’s M-16 rifle. Consequently, this tape revolves around testing on water filled cans. Despite the restrictions, LTC Alphin was able to enter key general points about kinetic energy projectiles; namely, that as velocity and cross-sectional area increase, the terminal ballistics effect on the target is increased.
