Fig. 3 Experimental setup (left): The ballistic target is a flat, hardened steel plate. Three lighting units provide necessary illumination for a High Speed Video (HSV) camera which captures the impact (right).

Fig. 4 Bullets 11–30 (post-impact), demonstrating the degree of variation in deformation. The top row (red box) are GM specification and the rest are RWS.

Fig. 6 Pre-impact jacket thickness colour plots for bullet 11: Cartesian representation (left) and polar representation (right). All jacket thicknesses are measured in μm.

Fig. 7 Jacket thickness variation (μm) for bullets 11 (left), 14 (centre) and 15 (right), pre-impact. Lines represent the thickness profiles at different radial angles around the bullet. A spread of as much as 50μm is observed at equivalent positions along the bullets’ length.

Fig. 8 Stage 1 (left): contact generates normal stress, locally thinning the jacket. Stage 2 (right): compressive stress and tangent tensile stress results in flattening of the tip.

Fig. 9 Stage 3: Internal pressure wave causes tangent tensile stress in the jacket, stretching the diameter. Where the jacket is in contact with the target, friction counteracts this stretching.
