[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1539394, member: 10755"] This myth needs to be dispelled. Bullets DO NOT kill from energy transfer, they DO kill by destroying tissue needed for life to continue. A bullet, even those of large caliber, actually impart so little energy in such a short space of time, that it’s practically over before it even started. Yes, you can SEE the ‘energy’ as it ripples through muscle, skin or ballistic gel, BUT this is not what kills. Even a brain shot that is slightly off may not kill, let alone drop a large animal. I still don’t understand how people still believe a bullet that MAY impart as much energy as a baseball at 100mph is what kills an animal. An automobile that has many thousands more lbs/ft of energy does NOT always kill what it hits, does it?! Cheers. [/QUOTE]
