Stevie, I agree. When I was in Vietnam working with the Vietnamese Regional Forces (RF) and the Popular Forces (PF) units, they had old US surplus .30 cal Browning MG's with the barrels shot out. On the range they would certainly hit the silouettes but the bullet impact was usually lengthwise, ie; in a vertical position rather than a clean horizontal hole. I sure wouldn't want to get hit with a bullit going sideways!! That has got to hurt.
