I knew at one time people tried using aluminum arrows with the shaft filled with powder and the tip replaced with a primer instead of a arrow head (modified Dukes of Hazards)? but it had to hit something relatively hard to detonate it? Actually, it could be rigged up fairly easily using an expanding broadhead. When the blades open, it releases a spring and a firing pin. Idaho has long prohibited the use of any kind of exploding head for hunting. I don't know what inspired that law.

There is a product out now that allows a pistol caliber cartridge to be put in the broadhead section of an arrow and it "fires" upon contact.

The 'Devastator' bullets that Hinckley used were rounds where the front of the bullet had been hollowed out or drilled and a primer was inserted in the hole I believe. At least that's what they looked like when I looked at some in a gun shop back about then.
They were a bit expensive as I recall and I never did buy or try any of them. I don't remember who made them or where but it maybe was in Georgia.

Reagan walked into the hospital under his own power then collapsed. His blood pressure reading was 0. There's no proof but it's possible that the 0 BP was at least partially responsible for his dementia later in life. Reports vary. Some say it wasn't measurable. I'm not sure you can have a BP of zero. But even if you can that's only one number. His systolic pressure was 60 (78 in other reports). Normally it was 140 for him. He lost about 50% of his blood, including the time he was in surgery. Steve. I listened to an interview with the lead surgeon not long ago. I was amazed at how long it took them to even discover for sure there was a fragment in Reagan's chest cavity. They did not even find an entrance wound for quite a while. I don't recall him saying they went back in for a second surgery.
