Thread: Knockdown power

I always assumed that anything wooped hard enough by a bullet (the huge expansion you see in those gel tests) would immediately become ruptured celled / bruised tissue and would therefore be useless to anything trying to run. I thought this bruised meat caused was the real result of hydro-static shock for want of a redundant term.

GMP is right pointing out that 'knockdown power' isn't what some understand it to be. The best example of it being debunked was the FBI report into pistol injuries - they found lethality was all about hole depth but it was largely splitting hairs IIRC
