Interesting comment so I have to ask.
What is your opinion on hydrostatic shock as a means of inflicting a wound?
I ask because some do not believe it plays a role at all and others believes it plays the only role. I contend it does play a major role with supersonic rifle ammunition but very little role with subsonic pistol ammunition.
Oh yes, that 9mm service round may have a statistical MV of 1200 fps from an M-9 but my bet is that by the time it goes ten or fifteen feet is is well below that level. And even if it hits someone at that level, it will be below the same once it passes through clothing and skin.
