Figure 29: 5.56x45 mm NATO impact. Comparison between experimental results (above) and simulation seen from the two cross directions (below). Time = 0.8 ms. The resolution of the checkered ruler is 20 mm.

Figure 30: 5.56x45 mm NATO impact. Temporary cavities at escape time: experimental results at time 1.0 ms (above) compared to simulation results (below) at time 0.84 ms, seen from the two cross directions. Evolution of the bullet’s kinematics during the penetration superimposed to the temporary cavity captured at escape time. The resolution of the checkered ruler is 20 mm.
