Well in my eight years of experience operating on Neurosurgical cases of the head and neck I learned quite a bit. Also I have books on my shelf such as I referenced the last time we had this discussion. If I want to know something about electrical circuits I will look you up.
Believe whatever you want, he’ll, believe in the Easter Bunny or Obama’s Unicorns. I will say this, in all those years I literally cannot recall the number of Gun Shot Wounds I have scrubbed on. I can remember the number of rifle wounds I scrubbed. Zero. In eight years of scrubbing cases in St. Louis, Camden, New Jersey, and Chicago.
Since you can’t get what every hunter or surgeon understands about energy transfer to tissue let us try another approach.
Several years ago I spent a few years shooting in handgun competition so I have a little familiarity for training for combat handgunning. In this case of Twin Peaks shooting almost everyone that was struck by a bullet was killed outright. I recall reading of one victim who still retains a bullet or a fragment and there may have been some that we’re transported to hospital but the majority went straight to the morgue.
For your opinion to correlate with fact two things need to be true. One, that amateur hand gunners would shoot for the brainstem as a primary target. Two, they were justified in doing so as evidenced by the superbly inerrant marksmanship they accomplished. Find any, and I mean ANY instructor who teaches combat hand gunners of ANY level of experience that teaches people to place their first shot in the brainstem and I will yield. In spite of the fact that you claim a parking lot full of hooligans did, indeed, accomplish this miraculous feat of handgunning excellence. Sorry, no way.
You are a neurosurgeon?
