    i suspect they will do fine, they are pistol bullets not rifle bullets so they aint built like tanks
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    I guess it depends on the projectiles, these are some I tried sub sonic into water with the 450 Bushmaster, a bit of a tough test but it gives an indication.



    Here's some 170 Lehighs sub & the 250 FTXs super that wouldn't open subsonic, just shows how much construction & impact velocity make a difference...
