How Lethal Are Backwards Bullets ???
This video from Kentucky Ballistics explores the terminal ballistics of bullets fired backwards. Expert instructor Scott demonstrates that while backwards projectiles can cause more immediate damage and energy dump, they also create unpredictable pressure spikes, potentially leading to firearm failure, as seen with the .50 BMG test. The experiment highlights significant differences in wound cavity creation and projectile deformation across various calibers when fired in reverse.
