I thought today would be a good day to resolve this issue. Maybe Walter can put it all in the proper perspective? Regards, AIU | ||

Niether what kills is bullets I've never tried to shoot kinetic enery or momentum out of my gun. Any way have you seen the price of momentum and kinetic energy its outragious i`ll stick to bullets and the animals I shoot will keep dieing God loves you | |||

Momentum is the first derivative of KE. Like Love and Marriage, and Horse and carriage, "You can't have one without the other" Steve "He wins the most, who honour saves. Success is not the test."

Actually it's day light that kills. Put a big hole in the critter, let day light in and the critter dies. Jim "Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force." --Thomas Jefferson | |||

I don't think it's funny. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that arkypete's analysis is closer to the truth than most theories I've heard. I'm sure that it correlates MUCH better with actual experience than energy or momentum. | |||

Sooooo when shot at night nothing dies until next morning? Apperently scandinavian wild pigs don't know that rule  | |||

No, still works, moon light is reflected sun light. And star light is sun light from a far away sun. Jim "Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force." --Thomas Jefferson | |||

What about an overcast night? Actually it's a failure of the pnuematic/hydraulic system. ______________________ Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie? | |||

Neither. It's actually the noise. That's why a 600 NE kills so much better than a 22lr. Rich | |||

Actually what "kills" is when the Brain is rendered dead. This can happen if the brain is destroyed. Or if the Brain does not get enough blood. Or if the Brain does not get enough oxygen. The man or beast, can be knocked down, or stunned..., but the "life form" is not dead until he brain is dead. SO, unless the Brain is hit, the quicker the bullet causes disruption to the Brain, the quicker Death will be. In many circumstances the immediate cestation of hostilties [ICH] is more important than death. Still, rapid blood pressure loss, leads to rapid ICH. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

I always look at the fact it is imperative for the bullet to make a hole, in order for it to do it's job. No hole, no KIll.Indeed, no human being has yet lived under conditions which, considering the prevailing climates of the past, can be regarded as normal.

OK fellows, the Navy SEALs proved my theory that allowing day light into the critter is what kills. The SEALS opened up OBLs head to allow enlightenment in and he died.
