If you read publications as the following:
http://www.firearmstactical.com/pdf/fbi-hwfe.pdf
you might get the Idea that
- temporary cavity is nothing (?) because tissue is elastic and
- the bigger bullet makes the bigger hole (?)
IMHO these two statements are contradicting each other.
If tissue is so elastic that even a temporary cavity of several inches is nothing really then why should the difference in bullet diameter from .22 inches to .50 inches make any difference in the diameter of a permanent cavity at all?
Wouldn the elastic tissue stretch the same way around a .22 bullet then around a .50 bullet? Wouldn't the actual hole in the tissue be mininmal anyway?
