![]() This ammunition line was renamed Fail Safe.Ĭritics alleged the ammunition caused unnecessary physical damage. The rifle version did not share the handgun bullet's barbed petal design and was basically a solid copper hollow-point with a hollowed out rear shank containing a lead core in a steel liner to prevent jacket rupture thus maintaining necessary penetration in tough game. Physician Boyd Stevens, the San Francisco Medical Examiner who performed the autopsies, later reported at the 1994 International Wound Ballistics Association's conference in Sacramento that the wound trauma caused by Black Talons was unremarkable and that all victims died due to penetration of a vital structure. The first shooting which brought critical media attention to Black Talon was by Gian Luigi Ferri, who used Black Talon and other ammunition to shoot 15 people at a San Francisco law office in 1993 nine of whom died (the 101 California Street shootings). Despite its unique design, the Black Talon was found to be comparable in performance to conventional hollow-points. Supenski of the Baltimore County police department said "It has the stopping power that police officers need and it is less likely to ricochet or go through the bad guy," something that could be said of any reliably expanding hollow-point. The alleged armor-piercing (AP) notion is urban legend, and was a result of media hyperbole (perhaps confusing "Talon" with the "Teflon" that coated KTW AP bullets )-rather than test or field data from actual shootings considering the short time it was on the market. The round quickly developed a reputation as a very effective expanding bullet. The bullet was designed in 1991 under the supervision of Alan Corzine, who at that time was VP of research and development for Winchester. ![]() This coating is still widely used on many of Winchester's rifle bullets today. This Lubalox coating was to protect the barrel rifling, and did not give the bullet armor-piercing capabilities. The black appearance was due to the oxidized copper jacket. Though widely misreported to be Teflon, molybdenum disulfide, or wax, the ammo has an unusual black appearance compared to other copper-jacketed or lead bullets. The bullet included a Lubalox coating, a proprietary oxide process.
