.357 Magnum (9x33mmR)

   The .357 Magnum ammo is designed by (Smith & Wesson S&W) and winchester fire arms manufacturer, for revolvers.

  This bullet started the era of magnum hand gun ammo, the magnum ammo has the reputation for fire power and stopping power.

Performance: 
   The .357 has a substantial stopping power and its hollow point (HP) version enjoys more popularity then FMJ, but since this bullet is extremely hight velocity it has a single shot stoping power and is considerd a very reliable self defence bullet.
  Other then humans this bullet can also be used to hunt and can easily kill mid sized animals like dears wih a single shot.
  But if some one had a bright idea of hunting birds, he won't get anything to eat because the birds will just explode.
  The bullet has 490m/s muzzle velocity which is significantly higher then normal handgun bullet.

     This bullet is designed for revolvers because they give substantialy higher power at the cost of recoil, but normal semi-auto handguns waste some of this power to re-chamber other round and eject the used one.
