An evaluation of the effectiveness of nearly all commercial handgun bullets was made. As part of this study, each bullet was fired into a gelatin tissue simulant. This report is a supplement to the overall program methodology. Presented in this report is the data recorded for each bullet as it penetrated the gelatin tissue simulant as measured by flash x-ray and high-speed cinematographic techniques.
