PART 2 REALITIES OF BALLISTIC WOUNDS

: WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES DO NOT VIEW IF BOTHERED BY GRAPHIC IMAGES

NOTICE:The entry wound at base of neck and the exit out the shoulder this would require at least 2 to get off the battle space

take for example this sniper team could have possible taken the guy out of the fight (look above picture of the neck wound) Plus maybe two to three other enemy combatants if the 53 pounds psi wound non lethal and theory that the target survived that wound be three combative off the feild for an moment which would maybe turn the momentum of the fight.

check this guy out he is a victem of and mexican drug cartel shootout more intently he died of .30 caliber wounds he was completely down and out of the fight

notice the large amount of blood from yhis leg wound probably femeral artrey was hit which ultimately lead to his final day and an bleedout and example would be something like this

.30 cal 308 projectile damage inflicted above!

With the technology of to days ballistic science and ammonution design the bullets of today will cause devestating wounds with exit hole of very large diameter

extreme shock .223/5.56

notice the entry wound channel

Rules of Terminal Ballistics:







There ain’t no magic bullets!


Only center hits count.


Make the biggest diameter hole you can to let blood out and air in.


Small bullets may expand, but big bullets never shrink.


Make the deepest hole you can to insure that vital organs and nerve centers can be reached and destroyed from all impact angles.


“Service” your threat until it is no longer a threat.


No small arm can guarantee 100% instant incapacitation of a determined adversary - man or beast.


Don’t believe manufacturer’s claims.


Inconsequential increments are meaningless.

Most gun writers are pathological liars.

Permanent Cavity - The permanent “hole” left in the target by the bullet’s passage. It is caused by the crushing and cutting effect of the bullet. Depending on the bullet’s design it can be quite large in diameter or hardly noticeable. Pointed or round nose non-expanding, non-tumbling bullets make the smallest holes.


Penetration Depth - The final depth of the projectile’s penetration at the end of the permanent cavity.

Semi-wadcutter - A bullet designed with a sharp bore diameter shoulder that enhances its cutting action without requiring expansion.
Stopping Power - A popular but imprecise term meaning Wound Trauma Incapacitation.







Temporary Cavity - The boundary of the temporary displacement of tissue by the hydrostatic effect (fluid pressure) of the bullets passage.






Wound Trauma Incapacitation (WTI) - The inability of a human or animal to continue purposeful action due to the effects of being struck by a penetrating missile.

EXAMPLES OF HOLLOW POINTS AND NOMEICLATURE

Interestingly, while the hunter, police officer, or civilian has always been interested in the immediate termination of all actions of the individual or animal that was shot, the military hierarchy is for the most part, primarily interested in creating a wound that will require medical treatment and hopefully the use of several other enemy troops to help the individual who was hit - which takes several people out of combat effectiveness with one wound. Thus, the military considers that an “effective” hit as one that simply delivers approximately 53 foot pounds (some sources say 35) of energy to the target rather than one that instantly shuts down the target.
