Hydrostatic shock is an oxymoron. Hydro means water, and static means standing still. Hydrostatics is the study of water or other liquids that are not in motion.
Now maybe there is some form of hydraulic shock at work when a bullet impacts. Maybe that kills game faster. I don't claim to know. But please don't call it hydrostatic shock.
Shock-1-a sudden upsetting or surprising event or experience.
2-a violent shaking movement caused by an impact, explosion, or tremor.
The disruption of the fluids at rest is the defining point of the hydrostatic shock.
