Wounding!

This is coolbert:

Shoot em' up, bang, bang, your dead!!

Here is some interesting stuff from the Bob Tuley web site:

"Promoting Safety and Fun In Shooting Sports"

http://www.bobtuley.com/terminal.htm

The above shows "Terminal Ballistics 'Wound Ballistics'" for the NATO 7.62 mm round, the AK-47 round, and the 5.56 Nato round.

"30 Caliber rifle bullets of this type are known to knock men down, and throw them off their feet back some distance. The cartridge is powerful, accurate, and humane in it's ability to kill quickly." [this for the 7.62 mm NATO round. I am glad it can kill so humanely!!]

"During the Vietnam War, soldiers reported that shooting an enemy soldier with the M16 did not kill as quickly as the old 30 caliber weapons. Instead soldiers would follow a massive trail a blood a few feet away from where the enemy soldier had been hit to find him dead from massive blood loss." [this of course for the M16 5.56 mm Nato round!!]

I have read that Swedish students during the Vietnam era were outraged when they read of the devastation caused by a M16 round. In an effort to get the American military to stop using such a deadly and "barbaric" weapon, these students petitioned their own government to place "pressure" on the U.S. These students ended the effort when they found out the 7.62 mm round used by their own military was EVEN MORE DEADLY AND DEVASTATING!!??
