Very impressive, is anyone else wondering if it would penetrate a human scull?

<span class="postbody"><br>According to Mythbusters a human skull and a coconut can tolerate about the same pressure, around 700 kilograms of force.</span>
How could I miss that episode?? Thanks!<br>Tobias, would you share the specs of that coconut-annihilator bandset?
Daaaaamn, powerful shot man!!!

<div>Awesome! One of my goals is to master the butterfly fist grip so i can shoot with heavy ammo and crazy bands like that. <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" longdesc="2">

amazing! the power of your shots is just unbelievable <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" longdesc="2">
thanks guys!<br><br>i shoot through the coconut because i could benefit from my experience with strong bands.
I was just testing some new butterfly cocktail tubes I did. The speed must have been amazing (wish I had a chrony) because I just shot through a double layer leather spinner that I usually shoot. That thing was suppose to last for ages:D<br><img src="http://i76.servimg.com/u/f76/16/95/98/50/2013-011.jpg" border="0" alt=""><br>The bands are 2040 I think, 30cm of them elongated to 160cm of my full draw length.<br><img src="http://i76.servimg.com/u/f76/16/95/98/50/2013-012.jpg" border="0" alt=""><br>The 12mm steel and its pray.
That is a mean bandset man, i have a leather catchbox filling, and it only broke when i shot an arrow at it lol, so that indeed must have been a lot of power
That will probably penetrate a coconut too <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_eek.gif" alt="Shocked" longdesc="5"> . Very nice tube set mate and i like that pouch too.
Coconut bought, now I'm waiting for the right conditions - till the girl goes out of the house:D She won't let me shoot this bandset in the house after seeing what it did to the leather. Can't blame her, I have at least 7 holes to fix and 4 more in the doors..
@Tobias: Very impressive shooting and a beautiful shooter - respect ! Butterfly is the way for real power ... <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_eek.gif" alt="Shocked" longdesc="5"><br><br>@CEZ: Respect too ... missing words ... <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="Rolling Eyes" longdesc="14">
Formidable amount of power (20mm steel) <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_eek.gif" alt="Shocked" longdesc="5"> Tobias ... how many Joules? it's more or less power than your "Ravioli" shoot ?
