It seems we are all speaking of the same dynamic. I've always considered this dynamic to be "hydrostatic shock". Maybe I have the name wrong, but the dynamic is the same.
Anybody know what the name of this dynamic force actually is?
After talking with some engineers, I think we hunters have the nomenclature wrong, but the thought process down.
"Shock Wave", to an engineer, has a definite meaning, that a bullet meeting flesh can't accomplish. But it's all semantics at best.
