My penitentiary law instructor, who's also a shooting instructor, said that handgun wounds are more dangerous than rifle wounds.Sounds completely wrong but I'm not gonna argue with him. He's theoretically a gun expert, after all.
In a strictly numbers sense, he's right. You are far more likely to die to pistol fire than rifle fire in the US.
>>64416089wtf?why do the bullet holes start inside of the blue if the guns are shoting from the right side?
>>64416099Those are boomerang bullets
Does this mean that it is unlikely for a pistol bullet to penetrate the target before releasing its energy after hitting it?
>>64416143Might well be it, 5.56 doesn't always fragment reliably from carbine length barrels either
>>64416089He's a moron talking out of his ass. Here's an old video of doctor (trauma anesthesiologist) holding a lecture about the injury mechanisms of gunshot wounds and the treatment of patients with such wounds (mostly how to keep them from bleeding to death before & during surgery). The good doctor makes it abundantly clear that rifles and shotguns are FAR more potent than handguns, and he provides proof to back up his claims.https://youtu.be/wXwPtP-KDNk
