We're all pretty familiar with the wound ballistics of popular handgun calibers like .45ACP, 9mm, .38 Special, .44 Magnum....etc. However, for the sake of academic discussion according to a forensic point of view, how does a wound from a bow compare to that from a handgun?
For example, a carbon arrow with a 125gr fieldpoint tip shot from a compound bow with a 50# drawweight and a 24" drawlength hits someone in the guts during a range accident. How would the wound channels and survivability compare to another guy who got hit in the same place by a 124gr LRN .38 Special shot from a 4" barrel due to a accidental discharge?
Any potential CSIs out there?
