Generally, most of the body movement from a bullet impact is the involuntary muscle spasms of the major muscle groups when the nerves are hit by the shock wave of the bullet. The author of the article was struck in the spine among other parts of the nervous system. That he would have involuntary contractions and spasms with the loss of voluntary muscular control is to be expected jerking him around with his own muscles. The range of hand gun energy in ft. pounds from about 150ft lbs to 800 ft lb of energy. See www.dem.ri.gov/topics/erp/nahems_euthanasia.pdf 800ft lbs is the energy required to move 800lbs one foot against gravity. Automobiles have real knockdown power, in the range of 100's of thousands of ft lbs of energy. Big caliber rifles can generate thousands of ft lbs of energy. The .50 caliber sniper rifle rounds near 12,000 ft lbs of energy. See http://www.thomas.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:S.1331.IS: All this power is being applied in microseconds against the victims tissues and causes explosive destruction, bullet performance and design like hollow points can insure that all the energy is actually transferred into the victim too. A bullet that pass through a person didn't deliver all of its energy into the target. About being spun around or physically moved by gunshot impacts.

The discription is right, it feels like a cherry bomb going off in your chest and there is an electric shock of that parathesia like being grounded and grabbing the spark plug wires on a running motor.

The second time i was shot almost missed an artery by centimeters though. I was actually shot 4 times on 2 separate occasions but none were life threatening.

A gun is just a tool. It is the user of that tool that decides to do good or evil with it. Let's put the blame where it belongs and that is on the user and not the gun. Just my 2 cents. And I have been a violent crime victim. In 1987 I was shot four times by a guy using a .44 Magnum.

I've learned more about the readers of this blog than anything with this post. Is the average age 15? Oh, bringing up Iraq in response to the VT shootings was ridiculous. You can do that with anything. Iraq? What about the MILLIONS who died in WWII? Iraq is just a skirmish! (I don't believe that, I'm just pointing out that the logic used is the same.) Shifting focus might have been a clever "out" but it minimized the VT shootings whether you intended it to or not. The right thing - the MATURE thing to have done - would have been to acknowledge the differing viewpoints and admit that the post could have been a bit graphic and extreme a day after a mass shooting at a college campus. There's always something worse we could point to - but that wasn't the point. Wow! I’ve learned more about the readers of this blog than anything with this post. Is the average age 15?
