[QUOTE="Taj, post: 3067588, member: 98000"] KE is really just a by-product of velocity and bullet weight. Temporary cavitation does play a role in creating hypovolemic shock, especially at rifle velocities due to tissue stretch, however is not the mechanism we rely on for putting a target down. Disregarding a CNS shot or major/massive bone damage, bullet placement and penetration to blood carrying organs is what creates hypovolmia/blood / blood pressure loss. To get that penetration we need good bullet design and construction. Higher velocities do generate more energy but bullet design, construction and weight are bigger factors in generating penetration than velocity. [/QUOTE]
