Getting prep'd up to do some tutoring in High school physics... what d'ya know it's all about force, mechanics, etc.
The hydro shock is a real phenomenon but tends to get over-hyped. With a short distance, good remaining velocity and relatively blunt nose (as the fusion bullet) vice sharp pointed one or fmj, there definitely can be a knietic energy shock transfer from bullet to body. Decent article I read a short while ago said most bullets need to be going at least 2400 ft/sec in that writer's opinion. I think it has to do more with the relative amount of KE transferred and if done to the CNS... which your high-lung shot at 80 +/- yds would do to the spine. Think of what a 1000 ft-lb force from a 2x4 at that location would do... heck even 750 up near the spine. SMACK!!!
