Hello all A bullett of my Beretta 9 short has one power of 50 kg. only concentrated on the impact point with then the other consequences to the impact. I have made several tests with bulletts cal.4.5 for compressed air guns and also to distances of beyond 100 meters, the impact on a wood table leaves always a beautiful sign. This child has not carried no lesion to the foot after to have been hit from the "meteorite"? Ok, we have the example of the child in Uganda that has been hit from a small fragment of the Mbale, but was of single 3 grams and its fall had been refrained from the leaves of the trees. And then one looks at clearly that this is one slag from fusion. Regards
