A bullet through the heart

http://www.defensereview.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=875

If you ever wondered about how they collect organic ballistics data on modern firearms, this article is for you. In addition to the bullet wounds and trauma doctors deal with every day, people also test firearms on animals (carcasses?) to observe how their hearts and lungs explode when penetrated by different types of ammunition.

The photos from this one lean a little TOO hard for a normal trip down permalean lane, but I highly recommend you scroll through them on the original page.
