    “All those hours of intense varmint slaying can be outsourced to one little gadget on the floor of your kid’s playroom. Now when you hear a gunshot in the middle of the night, you can rest easy knowing one way or the other there’s one less pest for you to deal with in the morning.”

    2025: there are at least a dozen stick-figure 'educational' channels, none with the wit that characterizes this one. The world has lost some of its greatness.

    I just subscribed recently, so I'm not going to say you're wrong, per se, about acceleration being the reason the bullet explodes. I will say that the bullet’s acceleration is what allows it to go through the bend as it shoots you through the heart it’s this bend along with the twist from the rifling, that causes the bullet to break apart. The rifling in a barrel is designed to spin the bullet for stability. In a bent barrel, the rifling has to curve, which twists the bullet unnaturally as it tries to follow both the spin and the bend. This adds mechanical stress to the bullet making it more likely to deform, fragment, and even rupture. So, in conclusion, the combination of massive acceleration leading the bullet to the tight curvature, and forced spin through a curve all contributed to the bullet breaking through your heart, I mean breaking apart. Bang Bang.
