    The reason it was so much more destructive when both went off at the same time is because the two shockwaves from the explosion were working against each other. This principle is basically what we called a counterforce charge when I was an engineer in the Marine Corps.

    My 2 cents: it's cool to note that due to the spin of the bullet, when it hits axe, the right fragments continue down and the left fragments continue up. You can also see it on the paper on the back
