Ok, then clearly there is no additional wounding possibilities caused by pressures exerted on fluids displaced within a body caused by bullets moving rapidly through them. Therefore damage I’ve observed with the ME (at both rifle and handgun autopsies) was strictly caused by the cutting and crushing of tissues by the bullet alone.... even if it was not directly in the bullets path. This area of damage was far greater with rifle bullet impacts, but it was also present to a lesser degree with handgun rounds.
So despite what was seen; I didn’t see any additional tearing of nerves, tissue and vessels (despite their natural elasticity).
I didn’t see any evidence of temporary displacement of organs/tissues by such tearing.
Meaning that what was observed...was not really there.
I have never said that a 6” hole is always blown through stuff by a handgun, all I said is there is going to be energy transfer to fluid filled “whatever” made by a bullet passing through. This varies by speed, diameter, bullet style, etc. It may be great and easily seen, as in shooting a water jug, it may be minor, as in a gut shot man shot with a .25, but it’s there at some level or another.
As for the moment of Zen;
A pebble now thrown into the water makes a splash and larger ripples, one fired into the water at 2,700 fps, greater still.
We can all believe what we want to, it’s a free country.
Stay safe.
