		<description>For those of you playing along with the home edition, just to demonstrate how ludicrous this project was:

&lt;img src="http://gallery.drfaulken.com/d/628-2/20mm.jpg" /&gt;
This is a full-sized, dummy 20mm round.

&lt;img src="http://gallery.drfaulken.com/d/632-2/vellagulf-4-ciws-20mm.jpg" /&gt;
Here's how 20mm rounds are loaded into the six-barreled &lt;a href="http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/equip/m61.htm" rel="nofollow"&gt;M61A1/A2 miniguns&lt;/a&gt; found on fighter planes for close-quarter air-to-air combat or on ships for anti-air/anti-missle duty.

The 20mm round used on the hard wax body probably never distorted, and therefore the exit wound you see is just the energy passing through the sculpture. One 20mm round that actually expanded would probably turn a human body into a bloody mist, with just a few messy chunks left behind. The M61A1 minigun can shoot up to 6000 of these rounds in a minute.</description>
