Our company, SlapShot USA is named after the ammunition we created. The science behind “SlapShot” is a principle of physics. With whatever gauge or caliber of projectile we create we strive for the widest profile for the gauge or caliber that we can make fly as fast as possible. The combination of materials, mechanical adaptations (patented) and profile work together to move energy from the projectile to the target extremely fast. The mechancial adaptations enable adjustments and adaptation to the target being impacted. The more of the projectile that impacts at the same time the faster energy moves into the target. Projectiles of same mass and velocity have the same theoretical kinetic energy. With the wide impact surface of slapshot projectile and the high velocity the manner of energy propagation upon impact is slapshot technology. The spherical pressure bubble created in 20% gel demonstrates the power. The primary difference is how fast the energy moves from the projectile to the target. The 73 caliber projectile will move the energy into the target faster than the .22 caliber projectile, even at identical velocity and mass.

The effective difference is comparable to slowly poring a 100 pounds of sand over your head from ten feet high or dropping a 100 pound block on your head at 10 feet. Because the head is exposed to the total energy of the block over a shorter time or at a faster rate, the block will cause more damage than the sand. With the sand scenario spreading the energy over a longer period reduces the rate the same energy is moved into your head. The SlapShot tech is intended for shorter range. In short, the faster the projectile is capable of dispensing energy into a target, the faster energy bleeds off when traveling through atmosphere. The slower a projectile bleeds off energy during flight the slower the energy will pass into the target. We have figured out how to make the slugs travel fast and a material that adds to the speed it flies and the speed it dispenses energy into the target. Even in our hunting slugs we still used the same concepts to create a slug that hits hard at 100 yards. The energy is the same as if it were a smaller diameter profile, same weight, and same speed of a smaller projectile but it punches a larger hole, retains all of its weight and dispenses the energy into the target faster and more efficiently but the wide profile causes energy to bleed off at a faster rate during flight.
