[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2730165, member: 94556"] The petals I think partially shed at that impact speed because the bullet hit a rib at a bit of an oblique angle and as a result initiated tumbling and extensive organ damage. Nevertheless the expansion of the bullet was excellent being about 1.5calibers, also organ penetration was complete. The reason the animal did not die that quickly is that the diaphragm was ripped away, opening the chest and abdominal spaces to each other. That prevents a tension pneumothorax from developing because air escaping from the injured lung is not trapped in a confined smaller space and blood flow in the lung at that level is low precluding rapid exsanguination. The liver has only about 10-15 % of the cardiac, so it will bleed at a less rapid, dropping the blood pressure slowly permitting persistent brain perfusion and preventing rapid loss of consciousness. The wound is a fatal one eventually, as was described. [/QUOTE]
