I think your point is better at the extremities, but if the shot were going to kill me...hitting the aorta or iliac arteries (or even the femoral triangle) it probably isn't going to matter much as both options are going to have a devastating cavitation pattern and put you down and out fast (at least in geological terms). If you have a lateral injury to the abdomen that is non-lethal either way you are probably going to have peritonitis and either some poor cutters are going to get carpal tunnel with all that bowel resection or....well there really is no way to come out good on that deal...getting gut-shot with rifles is nasty, nasty business.
Maybe if you get hit in the tricep or something where you have a terrible ripping and exploding wound with the varmit grenade versus a clean and cauterized through and through with the fmj round you have a clear choice. : )
:Shudder: I am sorry I brought this up all of a sudden. lol But, it reminds me of a video I found educational even after having studied this stuff for a while.
Cliffs, pistols mostly wound, rifles at a much much higher rate.
skip to a min in to skip intro, and it is 30 min.... but as I said informative but some of it is very graphic...so be warned
