I have know credibilty to say this other than personal experiance, on animals not water jugs, but I pretty much totally disagree with this author has written.

One example, of many,I can provide you is last years little buck. It was shot with a 260 grain Nosler Partition @ about 170 yards. The bullet entered the the front of the chest cavity passes through the chest and exited out the left side of the body behind the front quarter. I really wish i had taken a picture of the insides if the chest cavity. Everything in the cavity was jello - there was no heart of lungs just dark read jello. I know the bullet expanded some on the way through, butno way did it get big enough to shoot through all of those organs. The pressure, hydrualic or hydrostatic,caused bythe bullet passing through an air tight cavity cavity cause the rupture and disinegration of those vital organs. This is just one experiance of many.

As you can see both the entrance and exit holes are nice neat holes, really would not expect much, but inside a totally different story. It may not be "hydrostatic" but every thing in the cavity literally ran out the carcess when the diaphram was cut.... it was nothing but chunky jello...

Another instance when science sometimes does not follow reality....
