Bullet Penetration: Modeling the Dynamics & the Incapacitation Resulting from Wound Trauma
Bullet Penetration Modeling the Dynamics the Incapacitation Resulting from Wound Trauma Author:Duncan MacPherson Bullet Penetration describes the analysis and testing of a model of bullet — penetration dynamics; this model is a significant technical advance over what has been — heretofore available. This penetration model is directly related to understanding the — production of an incapacitating wound by the bullet parameters (velocity, weight, shape, — diamet... more »er). Incapacitation from wound trauma is a complex subject that has been
controversial for many decades, and all aspects of this subject are discussed in detail in
Bullet Penetration. The new results in this book are described in a style and vocabulary
that make the basic principles and results understandable to the layman. This outstanding
book should be read by everyone who is critically dependent on handgun bullet
performance as well as all those with an interest in any aspect of wound ballistics.
The topics covered in Bullet Penetration include physiological and psychological
effects in incapacitation from wound trauma, modeling of bullet penetration, and modeling
of bullet expansion. The realities associated with the desired "one shot stop" and the
ignorance and/or fraud in "combat data" claims are discussed in detail. The primary focus
is on handgun ammunition, but the principles and many of the results are also applicable
to rifle ammunition. The book has 307 pages, including 69 pages of bullet photographs
