The weight of a broadhead although a deciding factor has some things you have to factor in. If your spine strenght is way too low too much energy transfer is lost from bow to shaft to tip. I remember here in SA we used to have a locally made 350gr broadhead especially for bushpig/warthog/kudu/Buffalo
Energy is the messenger but momentum is the message. Heavier, slower but higher momentum projectiles have always delivered more damage. Good to see it proven in research
@@Pengu69420 G'day, A young male Kangaroo grew too old to live with his mother and aunties, and at about 10 AM he set out..., at 14:00 I heard a .223 fired about a mile away, off to the Northeast, and I thought, "Shit, I hope that wasn't Dyson...". Half an hour later, a King Parrot showed up, getting in my face, attempting to communicate, but I don't squeak Parrot. At 18:30 Dyson hobbled into the Clearing, on one foot, his whole Right Ankle appearing to have been disarticulated and destabilised, with no apparent Wound... Initially I thought he must've broken his "Ankle" while hopping at speed over Rocky ground, trying to escape the Shooter. It took 24 hours before I realised that he'd been shot in the back of the Heel, from behind, and the Shockwave as the Hollowpoint broke up had broken the Capilliaries in all the Soft Tissue under the Skin, ripped all the Tendons, and left the whole back end of his Foot a necrotic avascular mess. And one cannot actually touch a wild Kangaroo, but he had grown up watching me irrigate his mother's wounds (Sterile Hypertonic Saline Solution via Garden Sprayer...), which had healed her 3 times in 3 years..., so he stood still for me to irrigate the Cavity, and he spent a lot of time with his foot buried in Charcoal in the Ash-Heap (which soaked up it's leakage and kept the Flies off it !). It took him 9 days of Palliative Care, before he died, from Septic Shock I reckon, from having been shot in the Heel, with a .223, at the top of the hop while trying to get away, on his first day away from home, as a 2 Yr-Old. If you backtrack me to my "Grey Kangaroos..." Playlist, you will be able to find the Videos, they form a little Series. Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
You are by far my favorite content creator. I’ve been watching for about 3 or 4 years now and I’ve learned a lot already, and it’s been a great experience watching your community grow. Keep up the good work and thank you for the great entertainment over the past few years. 💪🏼
I'm in the USA and very pro 2A. However, I like a bow or a crossbow more than a firearm. This channel has definitely shown me some different options and covered some well needed bonus safety tips. Someday I'd like to recreate his full auto crossbow using a push lawn mower motor to turn the loading gear. It would be more of a ballista than a crossbow but very cool either way.
Kind of disappointed we didn't get to see the Shartac in the plywood boards. It looks like it only penetrated two. It was impressive that it destroyed the rig, but it's not a good comparison to the lighter broadhead. I'd like to see another plywood penetration test with a rig that could survive the impact.
I don't shoot plywood or steel with my broadheads, but I'd like to see more. I agree, a stronger test rig is needed to handle the power of that massive broadhead, it destroyed that plywood!
If the plywood was held in place better. The results would likely be different. The entire rig shifting shows how much energy it put into the whole rig, rather than spending it on driving forward.
Even though it delivered a heck of a lot of energy to the wooden target, it actually didn't penetrate as deeply. In fact, about half as deep as the first.
Yes that was likely due to the whole rig tilting backwards due to the force of impact & causing the blade to deflect upwards. It could also be that Jorge inadvertently had a slight upwards cant while holding the bow which may have affected the trajectory A top plate with straps securing the whole rig to the box would hold it steady & likely cause the front boards to shatter under impact as this would also add rigidity to the individual boards Don't discount concussive force trauma & the much larger wound track which would ensure dropping a large animal faster & making for easier tracking with a significant blood trail for deer etc
Actually, few animals have six layers of bones... :) Seriously, the main difference is that the HUGE broadheads will simply break a leg bone on impact. Smash it to pieces. A normal broadhead will probably stick in the bone, but won't break it except for small game maybe. Dr. Ashby simply looked at the stopping power, and these flying meat cleavers did a much better job at that task. A normal broadhead will kill the game alright, but it may still run quite far after the hit.
@@Slingshotchannel That was my thought It's all about the concussive force & the wound track Should you manage to get the perfect double lung & heart through & through, the size of the broadhead could cause enough hydrolicshock to drop the animal on the spot which is the desired ethical kill Big fan of your show mate, loving your work from down here in Australia
This is comparable to expanding (hollow point) bullets. The regular full metal jackets will penetrate way deeper, actually TOO deep, while the hollow points expand, cause a lot more damage and transfer all of their kinetic energy to the target.
@@offbeatbass321 Maciek has a good point at that price if you were going to purchase multiple of these you very well could buy equipment to make more. Its a piece of metal with 4 edged bevels and a hole tapped in the back. Doesn't take a genius.
With just an angle grinder it might not be that precise and would require pretty good skills, but for 1000$ (set of 15 pieces) you could get a simple Chinese milling machine, some basic equipment AND an angle grinder for polishing. To be honest 15 tips does not seem to be that much, so it would not only save you money, but also you would end up with a lot of tools for just the price of 15 to 20 tips.
One more thing: instead of separating the wood boards, why not stack them together in a properly stable support that doesn't get blasted away? That will give a better indication of penetration, although it may not look as spectacular on camera.
Zwickey Broadheads Has been making single piece broadheads for years. The heavier broadheads can be difficult to track correctly. That big broadhead will porpoise the arrow. If you want to know how in tune your bow, hang a piece of paper between top fixed boards. Shoot throw the paper at 5 yards. You will see what the arrow is doing. If you shoot through the paper and you see a hole with the fletching going straight through. the paper it is in tune. If the arrow kicks out left or right up or down you will be able to see that by how the arrow goes through the paper.
Since he said it was meant to be used on large animal it makes sense the arrowhead has such a simple design. Not only it needs to make a large wound opening it also needs to go deep enough to cause internal bleeding so a smooth surface to reduce friction is ideal hence the arrow is just a grinded single piece of metal.
I think you need a more fixed setup because the momentum + the drag from the width of that broadhead combined to take out the whole setup without going thru all the layers.
A little tip, if you want to find center of mass of irregular long object, support it by your extended index fingers on the ends of the object, then slowly move your index fingers closer together. The one finger that is supporting the lighter ends will start slipping first, thus it will get closer to center of mass. It is self-regulating, the fingers will gradually start slipping first one, then the other and when they get close together, that's where the center of mass is. It works on arrows, brooms, etc...
Wow, this looks so cool. I think you can make it yourself using those flat steels that you made the orc sword with. You can torch it and quench it to harden it. Sounds like a great project to do a video on!
Insane performance and great vid Joerg! Those are enormous!! Definitely impressive performance too... A big game broadhead my father swore by was called the razor ring broadhead, which looked like a typical 3 prong head with a circular blade set 2/3 the way down the head and he said when he was dressing one of his deer, he was amazed that it looked like a slug had passed though it! It's not designed for the extreme big game like this but if you get some time, I think you might be interested in the design as well
4:58 Do you have weaons? Please test it out, i think these 6 layers of beech plywood are not able to stop a .308 even a 5,56×51mm should be able to do it, a .50 BMG i think, would very easily penetrate. Even a 9mm pistol rund should do it i think.
You might be interested in checking out the Ranch Fairy yt channel. He's very much into high FOC bow hunting with these heads, & sometimes works with the Ashby institute that Joerg mentioned.
I think it has less to do with the chisel grind and more to do with edge angle. Maybe a sufficiently narrow v-grind or hollow grind will do as well, if not better.
Reminds me of a more intense version of what gary paulson described in the hatchet series, i think it was brian's return. He found that he couldnt really make it in the world after the original stint in the alaskan wilderness and the second trip with the observer. When he turned 18 he geared up and went back to the wilderness. One of the the things he geared up with were some really heavy duty IIRC what paulson described as mil spec broadheads that could hit rock and be reusable.
If you are actually into bowhunting and want to use broadheads you need to tune your bow because they usually shoot slightly different than field tips. Just an FYI.
What happens if you put some lead weight inside the shaft at the front with the smaller broadhead? If the steel is good enough it would be able to penetrate even better and be less susceptible to wind due to smaller area. Might be something to think about.
I am going off topic but after seeing my son playing with a syringe vacuum I am wondering if steambow won't be able to come up with a Vacuum crossbow power system.
These would be devastating self-defense items. At 5 meters, which is going to be your likely distance in your home, a head shot would a) penetrate the skull, and b) snap the head back violently
@@Gk2003m a head shot with any broadhead shot from a proper bow will penetrate the skull... human skulls aren't that tough. You shouldn't be aiming for the head anyway, it's one of the parts that moves the most and is therefore harder to hit than a decent center-mass shot. Aim for the torso, you'll absolutely destroy a human assailant with any broadhead to the torso, it doesn't move as much, and contains a greater quantity of vital organs.
Amazing the shaft didn't turn to dust . And the steel cutting light weight . Very interesting. I've replaced my front door spear with a weight traing bar . Momentum . Love it 😎
I can imagine why the single bevel goes deeper. It can be because the flat side has less contact area with the flesh, while two beveled is in full contact.
As soon as I saw the Shartac head I thought 'If the other 100gr head can go thru 3 & penetrate the 4th, this is gonna destroy the target!' & then I laughed as good & as loud as Jörg!! 😂😂😂 I'd be interested in seeing some DIY heads like that but I suspect that video is already ready to go. 😂
Actually I practice at 40 yards with a 20 to 40-yard 5y graduation grid covering the bottom 2/3 of my targeting ring. And I am actually quite the large fan of forward weighted arrows making a habit of doubling the weight of my Broadhead with forward shaft extenders or balance doping in shaft with Lead Core. Effectively allowing me to strike with a heavier point. Or in the case of the doped Point double tap strike with a half inch slide in the double core effectively increasing the piercing properties of the Broadhead. And actually I find a magnetic bismuth core best as a sliding core. Also I always use bismuth pipe not solid core sliders due to gas compression issues. And yes resizing the bismuth must happen after every other shot give or take as my bismuth is mixed with line-a-type to avoid crystallization.
Nice video. That’s a beast of a broadhead! I suppose having a lot of draw weight becomes critical considering what an arrow would weigh with a broadhead like that. I’d love to see it used on a boar.
It's not exactly the same but Ranch Fairy on youtube talks a lot about this stuff and culls baited feral pigs for his ranch management role and makes use of the situation to test different things, he's also good friends with Ed Ashby who is famous for popularising high FOC arrow setups.
@@johnshite4656 actually the whole point is the point, the edge cuts though more tissue but isn’t needed. You can actually puncture a-lot with just field tips as the tip being damaged is more damaging to the ability to penetrate than the edge.
@@jacoblaszakovits3035 Maybe, but in this case that's a LONG edge and it's moving a lot of mass, not to mention the thickness of it. If the edge is chewed up it will snag rather than slice -- it may not matter THAT much in the end, but it wouldn't be ideal. This is a huge arrowhead and if its edges aren't razor sharp its penetrating power may suffer. Also, that point has a secondary bevel which creates a more obtuse point than it would have if the single bevel of the edges simply continued to the tip. Clearly the POINT of this POINT is to CUT. If the main idea were its penetrative power then it would just be a heavy bodkin tip with a narrower and thinner body so that there isn't so much material that has to pass through the target. If you want it to leave a wide wound channel AND penetrate deeply then you will want those edges to be sharp enough to slice paper cleanly.
@@johnshite4656 you think the obtuse point effects penetration? Did you see how obtuse the field points were? Have you ever shot a field tip, if I had to guess that’s a no. A bunt tip will always penetrate deep. A shallow sharp tip will break easy. If you use a bow enough you quickly dull fragile sharp edges after a few shots. It’s not the sharp edges that help it go deep it’s the overall shape that’s why a chiseled edge is better it’s meant to be hammered and will hold an edge better but that doesn’t mean the edge is useful penetration just cutting a bigger wound canal which I don’t need when I’m just trying to put holes in your car
@@johnshite4656 Agreed It's about creating as large of a wound track as possible in Very Large animals which have thicker bone hence the bodkin is not used The blade needs to slice past the bones of the ribs to not be deflected & the size of the hole it'll put in the lungs & heart would be devastating & cause rapid death for the animal
I watch all your videos. although I am an opponent of hunting, I liked the video. very serious thing this tip. very powerful, but also very expensive =)
@@brianiscool-h2y when you say sport hunting, do you mean killing and not eating or killing for fun and then eating? Not being confrontational, just curious. I hunt and have fun and then eat it. Always interested in other people's points of view.
@@suqma we live in a world where man does not respect nature and destroys the living world just for fun. Personally, I can easily do without it and I don't want to take anyone's life.
Good news yes the arrowhead did go into the belly but it is sticking out just behind the spine to the left I think we can remove the arrow. Would you like us to do the arrow removal with or without the smokeless powder flashpan?
Moin Jörg, cooles Video. Die Spitzen sind echt krass und hauen heftig durch. Wie spannst du diese Armbrust? Geht das gut mit den Händen oder nutzt du diese lästigen Spannhilfen?
Wisebutt comments aside, the ballistic gelatin test was AMAZING! 💜 I loved the video and I can't wait for you to do your Joerg Sprave thing and make your own BADASS heavy arrow tips XD 💜
I love your channel . Might I suggest you make the cheapest broad head. It would great to see you make a make and test them. Using a 6 mm wood Dowling rod. Cut a slot then insert a broad head made from glass. Keep up the good work. Kindest regards Alan Ware
As one who relies on various non-weapons like bows and crossbows for zombie deffence i am really curious how good will be this heavy but really thick broadhead in cutting via kevlar plates. 2+ wave Z's tend to swarm you packed in kevlar and i managed to test several times that 50lb recurve bow and arrow with broadhead like the cheap one you used can penetrate shop manequin, packed in a class 3 buletproof vest all the way trough (At least the lifetime warnanty ones our government tends to purchase. Not something sold freely here to test with a comersial one.). However i am somehow confused by the thickness of those heavy broadheads - even with their great momentum they may get stuck in the plates.
WOW both did damage to the wood but that big broadhead destroyed the whole thing. Have you used that board target against a slingshot before?? Would like to see how many a ball would go through.
i mean if you have ever shot a gun the ballistics data is the "same" as for things like archery. the heavier the round the more the impact it will have and the "slower" it can be. the lighter the round the less of an impact it will have but the "faster" it will be. its like a 5.56mm compared to a .30 caliber round, the 5.56mm will do some damage but it will mainly just pass through depending on what you are shooting. to where most .30 calibers will do the same but cause way more damage going in and through than the 5.56mm. it works the same as the heavier the tip the more of an impact it will make causing tons of trauma in whatever it hit.
One of my absolute favorite TH-cam channels
it was too large to be called a broadhead, indeed it was like a raw shard of iron

Ah a fellow man of culture I see 👀

That broadhead has twice the grains of an entire arrow for a compound bow. Massive! Could be used in a modernized warbow.
I smile as soon as I start watching, just because of Joerg's demeanor..
He's the big, friendly uncle we all need!
☺
So it's basically a 160mph cleaver on a stick. Deadly!

Thanks Joerg, fascinating. "Solid steel"? Hardley. Just thin walled tin. Almost all arrows would penetrate that.

Are the arrow/bolt heads made of tungsten alloy?
Does the single sharp profile cause them to spin in flight?
It helps a lot if you have a heavy arrow also to match the heavy broad head .
That big boy broadhead really tamed down the shot sound!
Will gogun sites in Europe going to be stocking the shartac broaddheads? I would order some to try them but shipping to the UK is very expensive.
You can find the center of mass by holding the bolt woth two fingers on opposite edges and moving them slowly together.
Cool beans! The heaver broad heads wins every time! Lite broad faster speed less penetration / less effective!!!
It's like a metal shark tooth. Quite devastating.
Joerg the factor I noticed is that the blade arrow head aerodynamics cuts through air, not only on impacting.
I know this is not related to the video, however I was wondering if you have used Zinger fletching used in your cartridge system for bow or crossbow?

Heavy is good but after 30-35 yards the arc/trajectory will increase making longer shots more difficult. A 125 grain cut on contract is perfect.
These would be devastating self-defense items. At 5 meters, which is going to be your likely distance in your home, a head shot would a) penetrate the skull, and b) snap the head back violently
@@Gk2003m A chest shot would also likely go straight through so either a lung or the heart is getting devastated.
@@Gk2003m a head shot with any broadhead shot from a proper bow will penetrate the skull... human skulls aren't that tough. You shouldn't be aiming for the head anyway, it's one of the parts that moves the most and is therefore harder to hit than a decent center-mass shot. Aim for the torso, you'll absolutely destroy a human assailant with any broadhead to the torso, it doesn't move as much, and contains a greater quantity of vital organs.
@@Gk2003m defeats the point of having a distance weapon
@@dustinh4175 a crossbow is the opposite of a distance weapon.
Joerg have you thought about putting your creative skills toward inventing a mechanical target arrow extractor .
6:53 this is pure wholesome happiness
@9:30 that the same noise you make when it's ........ happy time 🙈😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can tell that you really enjoy what you are doing! Your laugh is awesome! 🤣🤣🤣 Love your work!
Ok first, that’s not a broad head, it’s a small sword. Second, make it automatic! 😎
that laugh just makes the video's even better
well done Joerg and thank you
Amazing the shaft didn't turn to dust . And the steel cutting light weight . Very interesting. I've replaced my front door spear with a weight traing bar . Momentum . Love it 😎
I can imagine why the single bevel goes deeper. It can be because the flat side has less contact area with the flesh, while two beveled is in full contact.
Damn Obliterated that wooden target imagine what it would do to an animals insides !! Another great video, Cheers Joerg and Happy Easter mate.
Turn them into mince.
His face at 6:52 is just gleaming with wholesome fun.
As soon as I saw the Shartac head I thought 'If the other 100gr head can go thru 3 & penetrate the 4th, this is gonna destroy the target!' & then I laughed as good & as loud as Jörg!! 😂😂😂
I'd be interested in seeing some DIY heads like that but I suspect that video is already ready to go. 😂
Okay, next up, Adder mod to fit these monsters.
I demand more Adder mod videos!! Because my demands matter...!! ... ?
"Broadheads or bodkins?"
"Yes please."
The way my mind words, Joerg; I wonder how a rapier or estoc shaped/beveled in this way would perform versus the regular.
What kind of wood was that? Beechwood?
During the slow motion you could see the first arrow broke the board on the bottom that held everything together.. the second shot finished the job.
Actually I practice at 40 yards with a 20 to 40-yard 5y graduation grid covering the bottom 2/3 of my targeting ring. And I am actually quite the large fan of forward weighted arrows making a habit of doubling the weight of my Broadhead with forward shaft extenders or balance doping in shaft with Lead Core. Effectively allowing me to strike with a heavier point. Or in the case of the doped Point double tap strike with a half inch slide in the double core effectively increasing the piercing properties of the Broadhead. And actually I find a magnetic bismuth core best as a sliding core. Also I always use bismuth pipe not solid core sliders due to gas compression issues. And yes resizing the bismuth must happen after every other shot give or take as my bismuth is mixed with line-a-type to avoid crystallization.
He says he doesn’t think that any weapon except for 50 BMG can go through some plywood.
Me, an American - 😅
We can we preorder the new scuba ringer?
Nice video. That’s a beast of a broadhead! I suppose having a lot of draw weight becomes critical considering what an arrow would weigh with a broadhead like that. I’d love to see it used on a boar.
It's not exactly the same but Ranch Fairy on youtube talks a lot about this stuff and culls baited feral pigs for his ranch management role and makes use of the situation to test different things, he's also good friends with Ed Ashby who is famous for popularising high FOC arrow setups.
Expensive arrow head's but how are you going to break one. You only have to worry about losing them.
Even if they don't break you can still ruin the edge. Which is kind of the whole 'point.'
@@johnshite4656 actually the whole point is the point, the edge cuts though more tissue but isn’t needed. You can actually puncture a-lot with just field tips as the tip being damaged is more damaging to the ability to penetrate than the edge.
@@jacoblaszakovits3035 Maybe, but in this case that's a LONG edge and it's moving a lot of mass, not to mention the thickness of it. If the edge is chewed up it will snag rather than slice -- it may not matter THAT much in the end, but it wouldn't be ideal. This is a huge arrowhead and if its edges aren't razor sharp its penetrating power may suffer. Also, that point has a secondary bevel which creates a more obtuse point than it would have if the single bevel of the edges simply continued to the tip. Clearly the POINT of this POINT is to CUT. If the main idea were its penetrative power then it would just be a heavy bodkin tip with a narrower and thinner body so that there isn't so much material that has to pass through the target. If you want it to leave a wide wound channel AND penetrate deeply then you will want those edges to be sharp enough to slice paper cleanly.
@@johnshite4656 you think the obtuse point effects penetration? Did you see how obtuse the field points were? Have you ever shot a field tip, if I had to guess that’s a no. A bunt tip will always penetrate deep. A shallow sharp tip will break easy. If you use a bow enough you quickly dull fragile sharp edges after a few shots. It’s not the sharp edges that help it go deep it’s the overall shape that’s why a chiseled edge is better it’s meant to be hammered and will hold an edge better but that doesn’t mean the edge is useful penetration just cutting a bigger wound canal which I don’t need when I’m just trying to put holes in your car
@@johnshite4656 Agreed
It's about creating as large of a wound track as possible in Very Large animals which have thicker bone hence the bodkin is not used
The blade needs to slice past the bones of the ribs to not be deflected & the size of the hole it'll put in the lungs & heart would be devastating & cause rapid death for the animal
interesting I think the super broadhead gives more leverage including its weight when penetrating because of its broad angled edge
I watch all your videos. although I am an opponent of hunting, I liked the video. very serious thing this tip. very powerful, but also very expensive =)
why don't you like hunting may i ask?
@@brianiscool-h2y well i mean, he didn't say sport hunting so i shouldn't assume anything
@@brianiscool-h2y exactly
@@brianiscool-h2y when you say sport hunting, do you mean killing and not eating or killing for fun and then eating? Not being confrontational, just curious. I hunt and have fun and then eat it. Always interested in other people's points of view.
@@suqma we live in a world where man does not respect nature and destroys the living world just for fun. Personally, I can easily do without it and I don't want to take anyone's life.
Its one of those items that looks like a hunk of metal but has like the technology of a spaceship
its going to slightly do a corcscrew over longer distances im guessing ahead of the vidje
Welcome back, it's been a while.
Good news yes the arrowhead did go into the belly but it is sticking out just behind the spine to the left I think we can remove the arrow. Would you like us to do the arrow removal with or without the smokeless powder flashpan?
Wäre ne super spannende Serie wenn du noch etwas mehr Vergleichstests machst. Denk dir ein paar kreative Ziele aus. Je menschlicher desto besser haha.
Moin Jörg, cooles Video. Die Spitzen sind echt krass und hauen heftig durch. Wie spannst du diese Armbrust? Geht das gut mit den Händen oder nutzt du diese lästigen Spannhilfen?
Ohne diese dämliche Spannschnur geht's nicht, der Sehnenwinkel ist zu spitz.
Cool, but I need a smaller version for the Fenris
Wisebutt comments aside, the ballistic gelatin test was AMAZING! 💜 I loved the video and I can't wait for you to do your Joerg Sprave thing and make your own BADASS heavy arrow tips XD 💜
I just love to see your videos! Danke! Suze' in Yuma Arizona...
You're the best!
I love your channel . Might I suggest you make the cheapest broad head. It would great to see you make a make and test them. Using a 6 mm wood Dowling rod. Cut a slot then insert a broad head made from glass. Keep up the good work. Kindest regards Alan Ware
Man I love this channel
That would be stable for turkey hunting. And you'll find that easy. Nice broadhead
Good stuff Joerg! Keep it up man!
Amazing!! That arrowhead is an absolute BEAST!!
As one who relies on various non-weapons like bows and crossbows for zombie deffence i am really curious how good will be this heavy but really thick broadhead in cutting via kevlar plates. 2+ wave Z's tend to swarm you packed in kevlar and i managed to test several times that 50lb recurve bow and arrow with broadhead like the cheap one you used can penetrate shop manequin, packed in a class 3 buletproof vest all the way trough (At least the lifetime warnanty ones our government tends to purchase. Not something sold freely here to test with a comersial one.). However i am somehow confused by the thickness of those heavy broadheads - even with their great momentum they may get stuck in the plates.
WOW both did damage to the wood but that big broadhead destroyed the whole thing. Have you used that board target against a slingshot before?? Would like to see how many a ball would go through.
hi Jörg,
i would like to have seen the lighter broadhead into the same long block of gelatine with the bone substitute as a comprrision :-)
the single edge probably gives addititional spin
A really cool comparison would be to find an expert Flint napper to replicate these broadheads as close as possible and see how close they perform.
Came to test the big, fancy thing. Found hidden gem in the control head.
i mean if you have ever shot a gun the ballistics data is the "same" as for things like archery.
the heavier the round the more the impact it will have and the "slower" it can be.
the lighter the round the less of an impact it will have but the "faster" it will be.
its like a 5.56mm compared to a .30 caliber round, the 5.56mm will do some damage but it will mainly just pass through depending on what you are shooting. to where most .30 calibers will do the same but cause way more damage going in and through than the 5.56mm.
it works the same as the heavier the tip the more of an impact it will make causing tons of trauma in whatever it hit.
