30 Carbine ballistic gelatin tests

Page has two links: one for LC 52 GI and one for 110 JSP Federal. Just like on the History Channel test on clay, the little 110 FMJ tumbles like heck and does significant damage....

The 5.7 Johnson and the 30 Kurz would have been interesting to test too. The 30 Kurz was made from 7.62x51 brass with a new barrel. There were alot of 22 wildcats on the carbine case and most are about gone now except for the Johnson.

I have always been a believer in the 30 Carbine. I carried one as a trunk weapon for most of my LEO career, and killed a deer with one shot at almost 100 yards with a 110 JSP from a USGI carbine.

If memory serves me correctly, the Army evaluated a .22 necked down carbine round during ARPA program in the late 50s or 60-61.
