[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1865680, member: 4809"] The size of the wound channel is only a small part of the story. There is ample evidence out there in the hunting world of small, fast bullets killing large game. I am not advocating this, but rather bringing it up to point out the importance of hydraulic shock. The sound/shock wave that follows the bullet into the wound cavity can be far more disruptive to tissue than the actual expanded bullet itself. This is readily seen on youtube videos where bullets (both pistol and rifle) are shot into gelatin medium. The damage to actual tissue is often greater then what is seen with the gelatin itself. I have gutted several animals and found lungs, spleens, kidneys, etc. that appeared torn or ripped open that were not part of the wound channel itself. Obviously, this hydraulic shock is only of value when bullets are directed at the "boiler room" [/QUOTE]
