In the number of blades argument there will become a point of diminished returns. You would not benefit by adding more blades than 4 because you have already cut on both the X and Y axis and extra blades will only slice those arteries and veins into smaller pieces. This would not aid in creating greater blood loss or greater organ damage. The increase in friction and decrease in penetration would far outweigh any minute benefit of the added cutting ability of more than 4 blades.
Look at the drawing below. Trying to cut the very small ammount of tissue outside the diamond and inside the circle (green area) would be pointless.
Answer me this.....WHich head has a better chance.....by virtue of "odds" of hitting the most vital organs? Remember you're guessing on the orientation of the blades before they enter the chest cavity.
Has anyone answered this, yet?
Also....if you were gonna have to choose which one to be shot with.....which one would you choose? Refer to the above.
The fact is, givena 4blade headis cutting on both theX
andY axis andthe two blade headis cutting on
only theX
ORY axis.........a 2 blade 2" diametercutand a 4 blade 1" diameter cut will have exactly the same chance of cutting equal ammounts of vital organs and veins.
A 4 blade 1.25" cut will have exactly 20% more chance of cuttingvital organs than a 2 blade 2" diameter broadhead.
