I sunk off to the range this morning with a couple of pumpkins that had been loitering on my porch since before Halloween. I ended up dispatching the pumpkins using several different kinds of .40 ammo. My M&P performed flawlessly. I am not much of an artist; but from 25', I did a decent job shooting out a rough pattern of a jack-o-lantern. The guys at the range enjoyed my handy work before I intoduced the hollow points.
I am just waiting for my wife to figure out the pumpkins are missing. :roll:
Oh well, she's got a good sense of humor...
I am up to around 400 rounds and have had no trouble with a variety of ammo.
Anyway, if you happened to have a couple of pumpkins around, you know what can be done with them....
Some of the hollow points really didn't do too much and others knocked out large chunks out the back. On average they were clean in while knocking 3/4" holes out the back. The Winchester from Wallyworld were clean in and clean out for the most part.
The pumkin was very cold and likely partially frozen.
No pictures this time. Next time I'll bring the camera...
That is just too cool. I was impressed with the second vid. when the pumpkin jumped. However, I did not see the third video coming. All I can say is wow! Thanks Dan
All shots were taken 90 degrees from the tripod mounted camera. I was about 10 yds out of the right side of the picture.
The first one I hit about center of the pumpkin the second I intentionally hit it very low as I wanted to keep it below the waterline. The third I called my shot in the center but who the he!! knows it just vaporized :twisted: I really didn't think the pumpkin filled with water had enough there for the 500 to do much other than punch a hole straight through, Boy was I ever wrong :!:
