[QUOTE="SheepShooter, post: 201126, member: 11376"] Heat transfers through contact... lets see... when the (rifle) bullet goes faster than 600m/s (I think it was) than we have very limited contact with the tissue before the bullet and vacuum directly behind the bullet... No heat in vacuum... unless the bullet transforms its mass into light... "have you seen the light...?" If that tiny contact at the front transfers all its energy into heat, than the wound would look like hit by a LASER... and as far as I know it LASER make tiny holes and not multi-caliber big wound channels... Also the large cavity would have to be made by steam which would need many times more energy that the bullet has... and steam in vacuum is not vacuum... If momentum kills, recoil is dangerous... If the bullet goes out front it has momentum... the rifle has (almost) the same momentum... if that momentum would hit you (as it always does normaly) you would get the same - no even more (because bullets slows down in flight) - damage as the target hit by the bullet... Momentum says nothing... and the more mass you put into the projectile and the less speed you give it (keeping same momentum) the less it will hurt... thats why heavier guns are better to shoot when it comes to recoil... And because momentum of a bullet is so low only in the movies the bad guys fly around when hit by a bullet... [/QUOTE]
