That looked like a crumbly variety, not proper rubber but a synthetic grainy type. If it tears it breaks up into bits. Looks like the impact is severe enough to smash it apart.

From my tests, they don't have sufficient integrity to withstand repeated impacts at 800+ fps - they just shatter. Most guns probably aren't shooting them at 800 fps though...

[brag]I think we(I?) have 800 fps with a bouncy ball covered @ 100 psi 
(especially with my recent and ongoing mods to the swat to make it support over twice the pressure that is could previously)[/unbrag]
well, that's pretty much what this thread's for, right?

Well I WAS thinking about getting some damage shots this weekend with the behemoth, untill I saw these pictures. wow. Now I just want to build another one that does that...

WHAT?!?!?It is also a hand-held.
That's a serious hand-held. I suppose it's not completely mad, as a really mad cannon would have rearranged the tree a bit more, but that must have still hit very hard.

With high velocity lead you never go wrongspudfarm wrote:hyldgaar: good old lead weight
looking forward to seeing some acceleration of kingsize slugs from that monster hybrid of yours btw

hm if get my compound bow sold tomorrow or in the near future i have the money, then i am ready to order the meter parts and union and all that stuff (from denmarkhyldgaard wrote:With high velocity lead you never go wrongspudfarm wrote:hyldgaar: good old lead weight

Yes, it's funny watching them bounce up through the trees.schmanman wrote:nice.
but aren't they... errr..... bouncy?
dont they bounce off the stuff you shoot them at instead of penetrating?
No, I'm not shooting them at that rate/speed, but they all ways come back cracked up with missing pieces, when they bounce back.DYI Posted: 02/18/2008 21:14 PM Post subject:

Shooting steel plate IS fun!
Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2008 8:22 pm
And how thick is that steel? Either it's really thin, or you have a big gun you're not telling us about
