I get asked a lot of questions in this job. Everything from what type of strange old gun someone brings me to what happens if you shoot in outer space. One of the most common questions I get is about ballistics. The Internet is filled with data and opinions regarding how powerful or deadly a certain gun and/or cartridge is. Since AR15's are so common, people often want to know about 223 Remington. Well, I had one of these questions myself a few weeks back so I decided to arrange a small test. Rifles, watermelons and video cameras make for a good trip to the range. On this day, we brought 2 guns I know very well and a third cartridge I had never fired, the 450 Bushmaster. I'll post the video and then later I post some comments and observations we had after reviewing the carnage close up. It took about 2 hours to get these few seconds of decent video.
