Expansion Characteristics Learned the Hard Way

[devilrob1979]

If anybody has any doubt that Georgia Arms' new 185gr .45 ACP JHPs have any problem expanding should take a look at the round that's on my counter. It was taken out of my siding. I broke up with my girlfriend today and she decided to commit suicide over it. Luckily she failed and only managed to shatter her clavicle. Needless to say, I'm pretty upset. I have to go down to the sheriff's office tomorrow and see about getting my gun back. I never saw this happening.

Re: Expansion Characteristics Learned the Hard Way

So...... Your girlfriend shoots herself today and you post a thread about the bullet expansion????

You're obviously very upset about it.

Poor Taste IMO.

Re: Expansion Characteristics Learned the Hard Way

Well, he IS concerned about getting his gun back, too. Wow. I'm losing faith in people a little more each day...

"Poor Taste" is an understatement...

Re: Expansion Characteristics Learned the Hard Way

pic?

 

[Blueclawz]

Re: Expansion Characteristics Learned the Hard Way

Yeah lets see some pics - the bullet before/after. The entry/exit wound. The girlfriend pre-attempt/Post-attempt. You know all the normal stuff a post like this would yield....

BTW - you appear to be the single coldest SOB I have ever seen. I mean who posts shit on the internet the day after somebody close attempts to check out?

Unless you post the requested pics..I call BS on you, the girlfriend, the gun and the ammo

Some people communicate in strange ways.
She's better off.

You sure can't rule it out.

Re: Expansion Characteristics Learned the Hard Way

I have to disagree with a few folks here. The fact that after Devilrob breaks up with his GF, and she then tries to whack herself, shows that this was a crazy bitch and he is better off without that liability.
I went through a similar circumstance, and believe me, he is better off without her, and I TOTALLY understand his attitude.

Re: Expansion Characteristics Learned the Hard Way

I think the primary issue is, why in the world could a crazy (ex)GF have access to his guns? I would prevent that just for the sake of self preservation.

I'm also trying to figure out what kind of suicide attempt would put a bullet through her shoulder...

It's called flinching during trigger press. Seen it more than once on a failed suicide attempt. Even saw pics of one where the 22lr bullet skidded around the scull under the skin and came out the other side.

I am sure GA Arms appreciates the endorsement...

Enlighten me. How does the muzzle move from the temple to the clavicle on a flinch?

Re: Expansion Characteristics Learned the Hard Way

You would be VERY suprised to learn that MOST women when attempting suicide are VERY reluctant to shoot themselves in the head.

The almost ALWAYS go for a center mass/heart shot... Most are soo concerned with there looks that head shots are NOT attempted.

And.. YES... i have worked my fair share of them as LEO..

And I agree...... she was a liability that could have easily cost him everything.

+1 on bad taste, bad karma. Some things are better kept to yourself.

Re: Expansion Characteristics Learned the Hard Way

Since it is quite clear she was a little crazy, you should feel lucky that she didn't try and turn the gun on you first. RIP Phil Hartmen

Agreed. She had a gun, she didn't shoot her ex., or anyone else. Perhaps all the reference to "crazy" can mean distraught or depressed.

Hopefully she's OK and from the demeanor of this thread she is better off without the company of the poster and he without her.

I have heard this before. Vanity over pragmatism till the bitter end - out_f*ckin_standingly intelligent.

To the OP - I get it. Be smart, you're makin tracks - keep making tracks for the rest of your life - do not hang around this gal b/c she will pull you and any future children under the fuckin bus - know it.

Aside from that, learn some social graces - knock a few edges off the account so as not to upset all manner of folk. When you tell this story again - say it was 5 yrs ago, you gracefully exited the relationship after doing what you could reasonably do to get her some help; when pressed - your contact has been spotty but you have always wished her the best and kept her in your prayers - then segue back into the massive mushroom effect of the round.


Seriously - drop this like a hot rock.


Good luck

Does she have a sister?

j/k this is a pretty F'd up story if it's true. I guess we all have our way of dealing with these situations.

be better if she were MY sister...(with joe dirt accent)

 

[splean]

Re: Expansion Characteristics Learned the Hard Way

Sir I do not know you or the details of your relationship, so I will refrain from commenting on such. However, since the OP is about the "expansion characteristics" of the GA 185gr bullet I am inclined to agree with Captain Kick Ass in that a photo will go a long way to illustrate these "expansion characteristics".
