[QUOTE="Oliveralan, post: 340256, member: 20245"] Hello everyone, I'm curious as to what you think about hydrostatic shock. Ive read quite a lot and it seems to be logical but yet there are studies disproving it. Have any of you witnessed a kill you believe to be hydrostatic shock? (abdomen shot causing bangflop) or such. I watched an episode of mythbusters where they blew open a safe by suspending a small explosive charge in the middle and filling it with water. The water then transfered the force to the door ripping it straight off. They repeated the experiment with no water in the safe and the charge did absolutely nothing. Also, the water transfered the force to the objects inside the safe, breaking them aswell. I would think a big bullet going real fast would bring this about, anyone land a gut shot on an animal with something like a 30-378? be interesting to hear what it did. Please post your thoughts and opinions. Oliver [/QUOTE]
