So I'm watching the women's 10meter platform diving and the commentator is talking about the divers taping their wrists. They do this because of the preassure they encounter hitting the water. They hit the water with palms flat to make a hole in the water for their body to go through, minimizing the splash.

Sure made me think of boolits passing through flesh.

Only a very serious gun nut would think about a comparison factor! A tip of the old Derby to you sir!

Sounds like cyclists shaving their legs to me...

Connections, the older I get the more I notice. All these branches... must be a root down here somewhere. I hear you brother! As the smart folks say,"Physics is Physics". Mike

Hmmm. . .so the diving coaches are going to start comparing high-speed video of Keith SWC's and .45 hardball fired vertically into a pool. . .

Or maybe the ammo manufacturers are going to force their engineers to watch diving. . .
