[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 2663231, member: 30671"] Excellent thoughts! One of the things I wondered about in this scenario is cold, and ice on the animal clogging the tip, Mud from a wallow, soaking wet from the rain etc. changes the target a bit. Adrenaline and cold both shift blood flow. As will gravity, and exertion. Respectfully, but experientially I believe the lung(s), if not robust is at least misunderstood. Rather than 2 big balloons that pop there are numerous segments and sub segments each capable of independent function. To really destroy airflow one has to hit the large central airways. Most of the blood flow in the lung oozes, rather than flows. Also a wonderful (thank the Creator) is how blood flow changes, not just with adrenaline, but to shift away from injured lung units to maximize matching air to blood. Certainly survival in a lung shot animal may be rare (recovered animals with old wounds confirm it happens), recovery can be turned into a nightmare readily FWIW. [/QUOTE]
