I honestly believe that the energy dump theory is a myth. Bullets do not kill by energy transfer. They kill by causing permanent trauma to a vital organ or organs. Bullets that do not exit often kill a little faster not because of energy transfer but because of why the bullet did not exit. The main reason that a bullet doesn't exit is because it is probably of a typethat violently rapidly expands which has the potential to cause more internal trauma.
Excellent read.I agree bullets kill by causing permanent trauma to vital organs, not hydro static shock. Thanks for posting this. Chap
