I've seen images of men with their testicles in a tourniquet and they did not look well at all. They weren't even bleeding that much. It was less of a medical emergency and more of a hobby it seems.

I appreciate both your joke and, most especially, your username.

Who would win? Private healthcare or a Phillips screwbullet?

[–] mrnobody@reddthat.com 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Jfc I hope you're not serious lol. These are self-defense rounds, meant to break apart inside the attacker or intruder, so you're not shooting through walls, potentially killing people on the other side.

Part of a defense training class includes, "know your target and what's behind it" for a reason

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (10 children)

Nope, these are way worse. They're supposed to overpenetrate. But they look like they're supposed to expand and fragment, right?

Check it out: https://lehighdefense.com/reloading-bullets/xtreme-penetrator.html

They do really cool stuff inside ballistics gel because of the surface pressure on that flattened tip

[–] mrnobody@reddthat.com 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Yes, it generates a larger cavity/hole than a JHP (jacketed hollow point) and the article continues comparing JHP to this new round.

A traditional HP is just that, the center is open, and it almost immediately breaks open on impact so shrapnel sort of goes all over the target. This is safer for everyone involved but might take several shots to stop someone because of the little actual penetration. Especially of a heavy canvas coat is worn out can severely degrade performance.

This round, is copper filled with a fluid from the sounds of it, but instead of the front opening up in impact, this his there target and spreads from the rear (the fluid moving forward causing cavitation part). This means the round had a chance to penetrate while also expanding and puting pressure on surrounding tissue which causes more damage. Still though, as it expands, it should greatly reduce velocity and not go through the entire target. A JHP might go on 2-5 inches or more based on design and caliber. Maybe this could go 6-10 inches. If it did exit, there's likely too little force to do extreme damage to whatever else it hits.

I've got some in my safe, but never shot this particular round to experience it myself. I've shot all sorts of standard ball, FMJ, JHP, and composite or lead-free rounds of numerous caliber and form factor.

Not to mention the brand has Defense in its name.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Oh shit for real? I'm stupid and sent you ones I'm not familiar with because I didn't actually read it before sending. They also make them without fluid, just a solid bit of copper. Does the same thing but doesn't expand

I looked up "fluted penetrator" and just linked the first thing I saw, so thanks for the correction and actually reading the article that I was being too much of a tool to read.

This is the bullet I should have used in the image and original comment.

[–] mrnobody@reddthat.com 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

All good man!! There's a ton of different ammo aimed at different things, so no doubt too many overlap in names and specs, etc.

Holy shit that guy chose "defensive" ammo of .357 magnum lmao! Is there a .357 that wouldn't destroy the target? Haha that's awesome. The 9mm for the 2nd test is far more common, but interesting they're going for penetration while still expanding. You'd think they contradict each other.

All I know is, I don't want to be on the receiving end of any bullets!

That big artery in the inner thigh. ... Yeah you can die pretty fast if it gets severed.

Femoral artery.

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 21 points 2 months ago

Femoral of the story

[–] Thorry@feddit.org 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A friend of mine got heart surgery through his inner thigh. That artery is huge, so it provides easy access to the heart without needing to go near any organs. It still creeps me out to think about it, on the other hand it is pretty awesome that's technologically feasible and provides a much safer procedure with a shorter recovery period.

there's a similar one on your arm. the one they give you IVs in. fun fact i was getting an IV removed and i had a fairly new RN (first year on the floor but damned competent. third day on my room and we'd gotten to become friendly. i'm pretty sure she had a family member who'd had a port and had been their caregiver or something) and she had just popped the catheter out of my AC. she pressed down with the cotton ball with her other thumb and... missed. GOOOOSH GOOOOSH GOOOOSH GOOOOSH goes my antecubital all over the room and she turns green. runs out of the room as i slowly and calmly (because i am high as balls on the good hospital painkillers) reach over and put some pressure on. about 30 seconds later she comes back in with a big gauze, i have the bleeding stopped and there were five great big red streaks all across the room. And her now that i think about it i am sure i was so embarrassed i couldn't look her in the eye. I think i traumatized that poor woman. You really can't control your instincts until you've been through it once or twice.

Once at a pet store , I reached in the cage to pet a jumbo rat that was sitting out for adoption (cause I love animals) but it bit me. And just happened to hit some main artery in my finger (I didn't even know bigger ones were in the finger,). I pull my hand back and literally spray blood, 6 feet in diameter around the whole area. It's on the floor. The cage. The table. The shelf. Like looked like someone got stabbed. And it was just a small puncture bite.

I mean it hurt but I was distracted by all the mess. So I wrap my gushing finger. And try to clean up my blood that's everywhere cause I didn't want a minimum wage worker to have to do it.

My bf at the time was a very squeamish guy. I actually saw his lips turn blue at the sight and I thought he was going to faint. (Yeah a grown man).

So I had to drive us both to the ER where I got a tetanus shot and a bandaid. (Not much to do for punctures).

Also my insurance wanted me to sue the pet store but I refused. They called multiple times. Wanted me to say the pet store was liable for the ER visit.

Which certainly would have resulted in someone losing their minimum wage job.

The hospital wanted me to report the animal to have it euthanized. I refused (literally my fault. ). .anywho.

I just remembered all the blood. And it happened so fast.

Lucky it was just a finger and I easily put pressure on it and stopped it pretty fast.

I've never put my hand in an unknown animal cage again. 😅

So much to unpack. Love the first gen area Playstation sweatshirt. This looks like an actual photo. What is that in the background? A toilet? Like in the jails? I need context.

Rifle looks like a Galil, so she's probably got some relation to the Israeli military.

I probably just caused you to have more questions...

Yes and I presume it's an airsoft. The carbine G36 was a very popular 0.5J AEG Airsoft rifle for like 50 €

If you aim too low, you'll hit a leg, which can be tourniquetted.

[–] just2look@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

So I know this is a shitpost, but a pelvic shot is taught by some militaries as part of an alternative failure drill (two shots to the chest, followed by one to the head if they continue to be a threat). Its a larger target than a headshot requires, and is rarely protected by armor. Plus, if you miss, the shot is more likely to hit the ground instead of continuing flight well beyond whoever you were shooting at.

So shitpost or not, its not the worst place to shoot.

[–] imadethis@fedinsfw.app 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

taught by some militaries

Also some police agencies.

More importantly, there are 'junctional tourniquets' now for armpits and groins. They're obviously not as effective as a tourniquet around the limbs, but they're around.

recoil also tends to pull high (if you're not anticipating), so a groin shot if pulled would just end up centre mass instead, where a head shot would be a whiff

as a non native speaker, what is a taint in this context?

[–] Forester@pawb.social 13 points 2 months ago (4 children)

The piece of skin between a ball sack and an asshole or the skin between a vagina and an asshole.

[–] meekah@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago

It got the name as a play on words. It ain't your asshole and it ain't your balls. If you say 'it ain't' fast it sounds like taint.

Sure. You can't put a tourniquet there, but you can pack the wound with gauze.

This is a new image/meme for me and I like it. The hand gesture gives it a little bit of a "witches vs patriarchy" vibe too. I don't know if that means more or less coming from a random old cishet dude, lol.

Believe it or not, that's actually one of the more recent revisions to the training. The military has been training to aim for the dick area because everyone has plates that protect center-mass these days. You cannot effectively move AND have armor that restricts your legs from working.

This is true, we were taught that the "hip box" was a prime target zone for many reasons, body armor being one but also since the pelvic girdle is a main support nexus for musculature, if it is damaged then most of the body is out of commission. Plus, there is a very high likelihood that the femoral artery will be damaged and if so a target is likely to bleed out in a matter of seconds.
