Bullets & Personas

We've finally decided on the bullet collection. We really liked the idea of studying the psychology behind the bullets, such as who might use which kind of bullet and why. Maybe a cop would use a 9mm. Perhaps a soldier prefers the .223 or an assassin a .22. There are many different directions that this can go in. I'm pretty excited to explore the psychological aspect of this project... but don't worry, I don't plan on becoming a criminal master mind; this is just a project ;-)

Our Collector Persona: (so far)

Personal Interest: Compiling psychological profiles based largely on bullet preference by collecting and studying various types of bullets, analyzing the effects, different bullet types and calibers have on targets, as well as speed, accuracy, penetration, and situational performance.
