so your an expert in ballistics and trauma and everyone else is an arm chair ballistician at best?
try this on for size...
http://www.rathcoombe.net/sci-tech/ballistics/methods.html"The killing power of a bullet in flight depends entirely upon the average size of the wound it makes in the animal, and upon nothing else. The size of the wound in turn depends upon the size, weight, construction, and shape of the bullet, and the velocity with which it strikes, and upon no other details. ... We frequently see it stated that the killing power of a cartridge depends upon its energy, and tables of the properties of cartridges often give the energy of each. Now energy depends upon the weight of the bullet times its velocity, and on nothing else, and thus can have only a very distant bearing on our subject." (
Townsend Whelen, The Hunting Rifle, Stackpole Sons, 1940, pg. 236)
