[QUOTE="devildoc, post: 202452, member: 5615"] I think you're a little confused, Ke IS transferred, it is not however [I]conserved[/I], however, momentum is. I doubt seriously that anywhere in your book McPhearson states that Ke is not transferred. It must be due to conservation of total energy, the question is what type of energy is it transformed into. And once again, The fact that stuff got moved around during impact is proof positive that at least some that initial Ke was transferred to the tissue as Ke. Once again, you're comparing apples to oranges, I'm not talking about hard cast bullets, FMJ, Frange, tracer or anything else. Just well designed, controlled expansion hunting bullets. This is part of the problem with trying to apply McPhearson's work on [I]handgun[/I] wounds, where he is dealing with a wide variety of bullet constructions and wound sites to hunting where we are talking about bullets designed to expand and penetrate well on a big game animal where we are almost exclusively taking the boiler room, high shoulder or neck shots.
