Stumbled upon this while looking up the effects of a bullet on meat/flesh.

http://www.lima-wiederladetechnik.de/7, ... ,62-mm.htm

The rest of the site contains some great information regarding bullets of different calibers that these guys have customized with a polymer tip.Though its primarily a German site, some of the articles have been translated to English.

There is so little of English in the link..
I heard of a Google service which will convert sites from any language to any other. Will try them and check out...

Found it...Where there is Google, there is a way :)

Goto
http://www.google.com/language_tools

Enter OUP-provided link under the "Translate a web page" header.

Select 'German' to 'English', and click on 'Translate'

You will the complete page in English...

For firefox users, the FoxLingo add-on can help with such translations on the fly. A small add-on that has a diverse range of functions and languages that it supports. One only needs to click on the AutoTrans button as soon as the add-on recognizes the language of the page that has been loaded. A few minutes of usage is all it takes to get a grip of its controls. Its a handy tool for the willing :).

Be forewarned, though, that neither the computer translation program, nor the translator, are gun-savvy, and the resulting translation may leave quite a bit to be desired, or make you smile. These computer translations can be truly funny! Cheers.

This is where most of the English stuff is. I think the German to English thingie is a WIP on this site. Expect to see more in English as time goes on.
