Analysis of the Pistol Bullet Penetration Through a Wooden Barrier

Effects of handgun (pistol) bullets on wooden barriers, and the ballistic gelatine placed behind these barriers, are compared. In one comprehensive analysis, the penetration of three frequently used handgun bullets through wooden barriers of different hardness and thickness is compared, and at the same time, the effect on the replacement biological tissue behind such barriers is analysed. The ballistic gelatine is prepared according to the NATO standard and therefore results are directly comparable with results of earlier tests for other bullet calibres. A significant difference in the efficiency of the tested bullets is discovered, based on which recommendations can be made on the most effective calibre for use in police and military for urban operations.
