[QUOTE="manitou, post: 1866194, member: 105280"] Actually, hydrostatic shock is caused by the energy of the bullet "pushing" or "forcing" tissue out of the way. It is the transference of this energy upon a mostly liquid material. Liquid does not compress, thus the reason hyrostatic tansmissions and hydraulic cylindars are so effective at transferring energy. So, the bullet entering a mostly liquid matter creates waves of energy that "shove" this matter out of the way in multiple directions... and since this matter is primarily liquid, it in turn continues the energy wave of shoving additional matter away, causing this shock wave. Kind of like throwing a pebble into a pond. You see circular rings emanating away from the point where the pebble entered the water. Liquid pushing liquid out of the way, each ring or series of rings absorbing energy until the energy dissipates, along with the shock wave. [/QUOTE]
