In the First aid for gunnies class China helped set up the EMS trainer said something like this:

Low velocity wound channel = 5* diameter of projectile
High Velocity wound channel = 20* diameter of projectile

so, a .45ACP might get to 2.25" but a .223 gets to 4.46" and a .308 to 6.16" (then add in the energy being delivered ...

I don't remember exactly where the break was but I thought it was 2000 fps (Actually, IIRC, his numbers were in a weird format. It was basically handgun vs rifle)

forget the M4 - i keep this **** real. people are always telling me that i have to lose some weight because my moobs are getting too big - but the reality is, i'm built like pee wee herman, and them there bulges in the blouse are my consealed grenades!! :shock:
i do what i can, where i'm needed, and i ask so little in return. i'm a true humanitarian fueled by rainbows and whiskey. you should be so lucky to know me...
