[QUOTE="devildoc, post: 201065, member: 5615"] I haven't read Mr. Mcphearson's book, but there is quite a bit of current literature published in reliable scientific journals relating to remote tissue injury do to high velocity projectiles. It is proposed that a ballistic wave causes remote tissue injury, through such things as increasing interthecal and intercranial pressures and other effects. This ballistic wave is a result of kinetic energy/fpe not direct applied force. If your book includes this and you have just failed to remember or understand it, I guess it's a good complete book. These effects explain to me how I can shoot a PD in the leg with a high velocity varmint bullet and kill him stone dead on the spot, your direct applied force explanation does not. [/QUOTE]
