The outright lies of the liberals in this election illustrate perfectly how far Marxists will go to get their way.

It's temporary cavitation that does the damage. The larger the diameter proportionate to the velocity the more temporary expansion and cavitation. It's a whole science. Hitting an animal in the side or profile is very different from hitting one in the head. The head is a liquid filled rigid container, the pressure rises and it ruptures/blows up. The same thing happens when you shoot a bottle of water with a .22 vs. a .308, it will explode like a bomb when a .308 hits it. A good example of this is when someone is shot with an arrow vs. a rifle. Even though they are the same diameter, the rifle will drop you, and the arrow (assuming it doesn't hit a vital organ) will allow you run around like a fool. The difference being when the .308 hits you with the velocity, it knocks a .3085" hole in you, but expands a hole inside your tissue to 4-6" for about 10" or so, then it snaps back. If you don't have the tissue or it's a rigid container it just blows up.

I shot a huge ass jackrabbit with my G3 a few years ago, tagged him in the side and he kept hopping, got a lucky head shot and his head vaporized. Naturally, it all depends on where you hit them in the head, but if it's in the skull, or a rigid surface which will transfer/contain the energy it's quite different.

I'm not sure this word means what you think it means.

I'm not sure this word means what you think it means.

Bullet cavitation - A cavity is formed by the path of the bullet as it travels through the body, whether or not the bullet actually exits. The formation of the cavity is called cavitation.

For example



If its firearms related CJ will know what the word means.

[Ratt]

Yep!

Damn that looks fun, but I don't think I'd have the strength to muscle one of those things around.

Minimum Wound Area: MWA (cm2) = [ 1 cm2 / 15 kg Body Mass ] + 60 cm2

Important caveats are necessary here. Only penetration and cavitation in the thoracic cavity through cardio-vascular tissues produces effective hemorrhaging (unless a major artery is cut). In other words, the penetration and cavitation produced in muscle and gut don't count toward this measure of a MWA because it does not bleed as freely or in the volume of heart, lung and liver tissue. This MWA value is based on a shotline transverse through the thorax (hitting heart and/or lungs). The thorax depth assumed here is based on a line passing between the number 4 sternal ribs above the heart. The figures presented are approximate, as animal anatomy varies by species and individual.

I know the way I used cavitation is not the usual way you hear it used. Typically you use it in regards to hydrodynamics, but the principals are the same.
