Tallahassee / Quincy, Florida

Comparing Apples to Oranges
On the left is an American made 30-06 steel tipped armor piercing round from WWII, brought back from North Africa by my Dad with six others to match it.
On the right is a Chinese made 9mm steel tipped armor piercing round from modern times.
Which one do you think does a better job in piercing armor?
Sometimes guys ask dumb questions huh?

This PAD photo was taken on 03-14-05, but due to computer and PBase issues, I wasn’t able to upload it until today, 03-15-05.

Maybe not such a dumb question, John. It would be interesting to know the respective weights and muzzle velocities to judge inertial impact; propellants have come a long way since WWII. That said, I think I’m with you on the winner.
